Herbert George Wells A Short History Of The World Literature Essay

He was born in the 19th century, but wrote in the late 19th and into the 20th. A famous book of his is A Short History of the World. He has many chapters in the Gutenberg free book I posted above; you can choose to examine whichever ones you want.

I would like you to write a summary of his biography and what he felt was important as a British author and citizen. I would then like you to write your reaction to how he wrote about three different periods/areas of world history.

For example, he writes about Chinese dynasties, the Russian Revolution, and British imperialism. I am curious about your impression of his view of these times.
