''The Bulpington of Blup'', a 1932 novel by H. G. Wells, is a character study analyzing the psychological sources of resistance to Wellsian ideology, and was influenced by Wells's acquaintance with Carl Gustav Jung and his ideas. The inner life of the protagonist, Theodore Bulpington, is dominated by a complex he calls "The Bulpington of Blup." This self-regarding, romantic, heroic personality comes over time to dominate his existence, falsifying his relations with the world. Theodore Bulpington develops into a pretentious fraud who finally affirms a ''modus vivendi'' of falsehood: "I am a lie. I accept it. I am a liar in a world of lies."〔H.G. Wells, ''The Bulpington of Blup'' (New York: Macmillan, 1933), p. 408.〕 The novel is also of interest for its extended analysis of psychological responses to World War I.〔H.G. Wells, ''The Bulpington of Blup'' (New York: Macmillan, 1933), Ch. 6 & 7.〕 The life of Ford Madox Ford inspired some aspects of the novel.〔Michael Sherborne, ''H.G. Wells: Another Kind of Life'' (Peter Owen, 2010), p. 303.〕 ''The Bulpington of Blup'' is dedicated to Odette Keun, Wells's lover from 1924 to 1933. Like ''Mr. Blettsworthy on Rampole Island'' and ''The Autocracy of Mr. Parham'', ''The Bulpington of Blup'' did not sell as well as Wells's earlier novels; these are now among his "least read books," according to biographer David Smith.〔David C. Smith, ''H.G. Wells: Desperately Mortal: A Biography'' (New Haven and London: Yale University Press, 1986), pp. 297-302.〕 Wells believed that the novel was as good as ''Kipps'', but critics have not shared this view.〔Michael Sherborne, ''H.G. Wells: Another Kind of Life'' (Peter Owen, 2010), p. 303.〕 ==References==
