The Outline of History (subtitled either “The Whole Story of Man” or “Being a Plain History of Life and Mankind”) is a work by H. G. Wells that first appeared in an illustrated version of 24 fortnightly instalments beginning on 22 November 1919 and was published as a single volume in 1920. It sold more than two million copies, was translated into many languages, and had a considerable impact on the teaching of history in institutions of higher education.
