- W2043643894 abstract "CRITICS have overlooked an important detail in The Time Machine that relates to Wells’s use of Jonathan Swift’s Gulliver’s Travels as a source. The protagonist of The Time Machine remarks on the attire of the first of the Eloi he encounters and notes that he wore ‘a leather belt’.1 Yet he discovers subsequently ‘that horses, cattle, sheep, [and] dogs, had followed the Ichthyosaurus into extinction’2—thus leaving the question of the origin of the leather worn by the Eloi. Wells’s self-proclaimed indebtedness to Swift provides a valuable clue as to the origin of this future leather.3 In the final voyage of Gulliver’s Travels, the eponymous hero uses skin derived from the unmistakeably human Yahoos to sole his shoes as he replenishes his worn-out clothing: I made myself others with the skins of rabbits, and of a certain beautiful animal about the same size, called nnuhnoh, the skin of which is covered with a fine down. Of these I made very tolerable stockings. I soled my shoes with wood which I cut from a tree, and fitted to the upper leather, and when this was worn out, I supplied it with the skins of Yahoos dried in the sun.4" @default.
