Historical consciousness or the remembered past

---

For some time I have been interested in the changing fortunes of the adjective old-fashioned. I find it significant that this adjective has by now shed all of its pejorative associations. For example, the Oxford English Dictionary shows that a century ago old-fashioned had a wide currency in the sense of a child having the ways of a grown-up person, hence, precocious, knowing." Dickens would have Miss Blimber say of the little Paul Dombey that he was "an old- fashioned boy," in a spirit of disapproval. This usage seems to have disappeared completely."
