A piece I wrote on one of the most fascinating and incredible thriftstore finds I've ever stumbled upon.
The Edwardians and Victorians were not like us, they believed in a nobility of their political class that's almost impossible to understand or relate to, and that believe, that attribution of nobility is tied up with something even more mysterious: their belief in the fundamental nobility of rhetoric.
Still not sure entirely how I feel about this, or how sure I am of my conclusions but this has had me spellbound in fascination and so I wrote about it.

Notes -
Somewhat valid, but unnecessarily rude. Kulak may not be influential or an exceptional writer or very rigorous or a paragon of any virtue sans self-interest and beyond reproach, but at least he's out there trying to produce something. Often what he writes, messy as it may be, at the very least points out interesting notions. I'm happy he does what he does.
