The AR that wrote the critical works in the late Edwardian period was clearly someone who had quite some appreciable talents as a critic and user of ideas (if not an inventor of ideas himself). Where did this go to?
Quite. This is the $10,000 question. Was AR's youthful idealism disapated in the light of middle age experience? Or is it still there, lurking beneath the surface of the SA series awaiting discovery - like the copper and legendary gold in the flooded levels of the Coniston copper mines.
