Summary "Joan and Peter: The Story of an Education" by H. G. Wells is a novel written in the early 20th century. The book delves into the lives of its main characters, Peter and Joan, exploring their upbringing and education against the backdrop of familial influences and societal expectations. The narrative captures the struggles and ideals of modern parents trying to navigate their children's future within a rapidly changing world. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Peter’s parentage, revealing significant details about his father, Arthur Stubland, and mother, Dolly. The opening describes Peter's birth and the immediate emotional turmoil his father experiences as he grapples with love and responsibility. We learn that both parents possess modern, liberal views influenced by their backgrounds and societal shifts, with Mr. Stubland's artistic inclinations contrasting with Mrs. Stubland's historical and scientific interests. The beginning sets the stage for Peter and Joan's education, emphasizing the new ideas of child-rearing and social reform in the context of early 1900s England.
