Mr. Belloc Objects to "The Outline of History"

After Wells published "An Outline of History," which was among the first comprehensive histories based on a scientific viewpoint, the Roman Catholic writer Hilaire Belloc fought back with a series of essays condemning the book, especially for omitting God and for his acceptance of evolution theory. "Mr. Belloc Objects to 'The Outline of History'" constitutes Wells' own literary retort, and is both entertaining and impressive. Contents include: "Mr. Belloc's Arts of Controversy," "The Theory of Natural Selection Stated," "Mr. Belloc as a Specimen Critic of Natural Selection," "Mr. Belloc's Adventures Among the Sub-Men," and "Fixity or Progress." Herbert George Wells (1866 - 1946) was a prolific English writer who wrote in a variety of genres, including the novel, politics, history, and social commentary. Today, he is perhaps best remembered for his contributions to the science fiction genre thanks to such novels as "The Time Machine" (1895), "The Invisible Man" (1897), and "The War of the Worlds" (1898). Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this book now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.… (mer)

Reading this is a bit like reading someone's livejournal entry when you have only one person's side of the story. H.G. Wells published his Outline of History in 1920; Hilaire Belloc published a series of articleds castigating it as anti-Christian and immoral over the next few years; and Wells published this 54-page riposte to Belloc in 1926. (Belloc followed up that same year with Mr Belloc Still Objects, but I haven't seen that.)

Wells argues his case very well, pointing out Belloc's rhetorical excesses, and giving numerous examples where Belloc has misinterpreted or twisted his words. He also, admirably (and entirely unlike the tiresome Richard Dawkins) rests his case completely on what science has to say about nature and invites the religious reader first, to accept that Wells' views on science and natural history are entirely reasonable, and secondly that Belloc's are absurd.

It wouldn't surprise me at all. I would add, however, that I suspect Belloc's views were unrepresentative of Catholic scientists of his time. ( )
