"Literary and theatrical historians tend to see the Edwardian period either as a coda of the Victorian perios or as the prelude to postwar Modernity; however it was neither the one nor the other, the Edwardian period was both Victorian and Modern at the same time. And as has been shown, the Edwardians themselves were acutely aware of the attitudes and condditons that defined their own age, sensing the end of one era and the beginning of another." from the Introduction.
