...charmed by the stories, but bewitched by the pictures: dreamy Maxfield Parrish landscapes, bold N.C. Wyeth seascapes, puckish Arthur Rackham characters.

In his emotional uncertainty and fear of change, he was the stuff of which rank-and-file Tories are made. He did not so much idealize stability as worship it, and as a result his entire view of rural England presents Arcadia in a new guise. One could never imagine, looking...
