The Passionate Friends is written as if addressed to Stephen Stratton's eldest son, who is presently on the verge of adolescence. Stephen is the only child of a rector who loses his faith due to Darwinism. The Passionate Friends is notable as the first introduction of Wells's notion of individuals to achieve a world state through an open conspiracy against potentates and prejudices and all the separating powers of darkness.
