Excerpt from The English Middle Class Some might even go a step further, and say that such delimitation is not only next door to impossible, but is also unnecessary. So long as the label con veys, in any particular connection, a sufficient mean ing, SO long as we know practically what we have in mind when we think of the middle class of the Elizabethan dramatistsjof Walpole's financial out look, of the Chartist agitation, or of Matthew Arnold's irony, what need is there for attempting any exact characterization of the people included under that label at various periods?
