| Summary | "The New Teaching of History" by H. G. Wells is a historical account written in the early 20th century, specifically in the early 1920s. This book serves as a companion piece and a critical response to his preceding work, "The Outline of History." Wells explores the educational significance and the current methods of teaching history, advocating for a more comprehensive approach that connects students to a broader understanding of human civilization beyond isolated national narratives. In this work, Wells emphasizes the need for history to be taught as a cohesive story of humanity that transcends national boundaries and specific time periods. He critiques the narrow focus of contemporary historical education, which often fixates on specific details and periods while neglecting the interconnectedness of global history. Through analyzing various criticisms of "The Outline of History," he asserts that an effective historical education should expand students' perspectives and foster an understanding of their role as part of the larger human story, ultimately aiming for a more enlightened and cooperative society.
