As I was brought up in this tradition myself I can recognise it under strange disguises, and also sympathise with it, for even at its stupidest and most sentimental it is a comelier thing than the shallow self-righteousness of the left-wing intelligentsia."<ref>George Orwell, "The Limit to Pessimism," ''New English Weekly'', April 25, 1940, reprinted in Sonia Orwell and Ian Angus, eds., [http://books.google.com/books?id=0j2qODEJkdoC George Orwell: An age like this, 1920-1940: Volume 1 of The Collected Essays, Journalism, & Letters] (London: David R.
