"Theodore Savage: A Story of the Past or the Future" by Cicely Hamilton is a speculative narrative about societal transformation through the eyes of Theodore Savage, a former civil servant. Once living a life of ease, Savage finds himself struggling in a war-torn world, working as a manual laborer, an existence far removed from his past. The story explores how the protagonist reflects on his comfortable past, filled with art and leisure, and his complicated relationships, like the one he has with Phillida Rathbone, compared with the harsh realities of his present life where he must struggle alongside rough men. As tensions escalate, the novel contrasts Savage's personal reflections with the backdrop of a society on the brink of collapse.
