Summary "Portraits of the Nineties" by E. T. Raymond is a biographical account written in the early 20th century that examines key figures and events from the 1890s towards the close of the Victorian era. The author sets out to explore the societal changes and prominent personalities of the decade, providing insight into their impacts on contemporary culture and politics. At the start of the narrative, the author reflects on the significance of the 1890s, contemplating the mixture of stability and transition characterizing the era. Raymond introduces the idea that the decade, often considered a "golden age," was marked by cultural vibrancy, political intrigue, and a naive optimism about the future. He alludes to the decay of the established social order and hints at the rising influence of new wealth and ideas. Thus, the opening chapters build a framework for analyzing notable figures of the time, such as Lord Rosebery and Cecil Rhodes, setting the stage for a deeper exploration of how these individuals shaped the public discourse of the 1890s.
