‘Diffident young writers’, Sarah Grand wrote in the preface to Our Manifold Nature (1894), ‘cruelly perplexed’ between their own perception of life and the time-honoured truths of ‘those in authority’, ‘crawl along … on feet of lead until the restraint becomes unbearable, and then they break out on their own account in new directions, and their success proves to be the death-blow of their oppressors.”
