6/29/17 review of vol. 1 of The Outline of History, by HG Wells

Here is the link to my Twitter thread review of the first volume of The Outline of History, written by H.G. Wells and revised by Raymond Postgate.

The thread gives some context on the book and H.G. Wells. It discusses the book's exploration of the prehistoric world and human evolution. It discusses the book's themes and assumptions about history and civilization. It discusses how the book views history through individual leaders and successions of leaders. It discusses the book's examination of Asian history. And it discusses the book's prose style.
