Description
This third volume of the autobiography deals with a more enjoyable period of life than the former books of this classic series. In 1911 the air had a lightness about it that has now everywhere vanished, if not for ever, at least for several centuries. A delusive atmosphere of pleasure and promise, both in the social body and the arts. But also brings intimations of the coming sweep of darkness, the development of a family tragedy, precipitated by two conflicting natures, and of huge public disaster, the first World War. Although these storms are seen approaching, they offer only a contrast to the ebullient hopes and prevailing buoyancy.
