The Past of the Future. ___ There they go, our brothers who have been educated at public schools and universities, mounting those steps, passing in and out of those doors, ascending their pulpits, preaching, teaching, administering justice, practising medicine, transacting business, making money. It is a solemn sight always – a procession, like a caravanserai crossing a desert. Great-grandfather, grandfathers, fathers, uncles – they all went their way, wearing their gowns, wearing their wigs, some with ribbons across their breasts, others without. Virginia Woolf, Three Guineas (1938), in one of her powerful assaults on the place of women in British society and their absence from the official ruling class. The next generation – there will be a next generation, in spite of this war and whatever it brings. Have we time for a rapid glance, for a hurried guess at the next generation? The next generation will be, when peace comes, a post-war generation too. Must it be a leaning tower generation – an oblique, sidelong, squinting, self-conscious generation with a foot in two worlds? Or will there be no more towers and no more classes and shall we stand, without hedges between us, on the common ground?
