The few thousand middle-aged, liberal, progressive-minded members of the pre-war middle class, who have created educated opinion in Great Britain for close on a quarter of a century, are becoming uneasily aware that their monopoly is over. The liberals had held power for too long, and their rule had shown an increasing tendency to become absolute. Nurtured in secure middle-class homes, educated at Winchester and Oxford, governing Great Britain from their civilized citadel in Bloomsbury, they had acquired control, in the inter-war years, of all the vital machinery of English culture.
