Flowerings
It seems to be true that from near the turn of the century, during the World War One period and the period between the wars, there was a literary flowering of ideas and style—at least among writers of English. Since then many of the newly upturned ideas have laid moulding and fermenting and can probably be expected to explode into a new literary flowering, to peak around the turn of this next century—30 years from now. It in turn will upturn more new ideas, which will be part of a sort of brotherhood with those of the last flowering, and those of the distant next ones to follow. At least this can be supposed to be the general cycle of things.
