The editors found their title in Two Cheers forDemocracy by E.M. Forster, in which he posited an aristocracy"of the sensitive, the considerate and the plucky" whorepresented "the true human tradition." They used thephrase to emphasize their focus on the stories of individuals whodemonstrated something unique, rather than those who might bementioned in a regular political history course.
