Transcending the flesh: vegetarianism, diet-reform, and pure living 7. Postscript: back down to earth
'Freewomen and Supermen' examines the progressive, innovative, and sometimes wildly eccentric nature of radical thought in the Edwardian period and shows how Edwardian radical thought was to play a crucial role in the development of literary modernism.
