Where Has the Sex Gone?

After Cecil dies in the war, ?Two Acres? becomes famous?every British citizen seems able to recite a line or two?prompting curiosity about the events that led to its composition. The first ?reconstruction? occurs in the mid 1920s, on the eve of the General Strike, to be precise. (Hollinghurst likes momentous backdrops, a signal of his social-documentarian ambitions.) An admirer of Cecil?s, Sebby Stokes, starts gathering thread for a collected edition of his poems. He takes a gentlemanly approach, with no interest in exposing the Cecil whom George remembers: ?the nudist, the satyr, the fornicator.? Of course no one actually expects him to pry. We?re on the Nantwich side of the Nantwich-Beckwith liberation divide, and it?s understood that Cecil?s proclivities are not suitable for print.
