A Pioneer of Yesterday
January 17, 1918 issue

The article analyzes the book "Twentieth-Century France," by M. Betham-Edwards. He deplores the victorian days when to sneer at the Frenchmen was the fashion in England, and France supplied the British novelist with his villian. British heroes and heroines of romance have not altogether given up Paris as the scene of their downward career, but the fashion is on the wane, and it is to Miss Betham-Edwards's credit that hers was one of the first of the few voices heard crying in the wilderness. She could write of France and the French with sympathy at a time when to do so must have savored of eccentricity, if nothing worse.
