TL;DRAbstract
Most Victorians still believed that progress came mainly from the minerals in the rocks, the richness of the soil, and the sun and rain. But now these omens of progress were sober.

And yet most years of the 1920s and 1930s were permeated by an optimism stemming from new technology and new products.
