Allen's heroes began with nothing, and nobody expected anything of them. A shepherd's son who became a great engineer, a peasant who became a painter, a stonemason who taught himself geology: the argument running under the collection is that the talent was always there in the cottages, and the only variable was whether it ever got a chance.
