		In retrospect the Edwardian era is Janus-faced, at times complacent and assured, at others pervaded by a sense of questioning, preoccupation with problems, and at times a sense of crisis and longing for the stability and certainties of the high Victorian era.
		It would be unfair to characterise Edwardian writing in terms of straight rebellion: even in Father and Son there is ambivalence in the portrayal of the Father, and a concern with continuity and inheritance.
		For all the rich vein of Edwardian romancing of Hall Caine, Marie Corelli, Ouida and the flirtation with romance and danger, we do not have to go very far into the popular literature of the time to find a sense of disquiet and fear about the future.

		This influence can be seen in Edwardian period jewelry in the dramatic progress made in gemstone cutting, and the extensive use of platinum, which revolutionized jewelry design.

		While not as dominate as in the 1880s-90s, the Fauntleroy suit was still commonly worn by boys in the Edwardian era.
		I have the impression that during the Edwardian period that the Fauntleroy was muchnmore likely to be worn by wealthier boys as oppposed to the earlier period when it was a fashion widely worn by a wide cross section of society
		In the Edwardian era it was fashionable to shave the hair of German boys, but I do not believe that such boys wore Fauntleroy suits.
