This bias didn't surprise me, and I assumed it would take little time for some careful scholar to balance it by zooming in on the conceptual content of the title, which I think expresses the meaning of the text as accurately as any title can. It is a matter of some bafflement to me, therefore, that to date, as far as I know, no critical assessment has actually gone to that thematic core: the provenance of the concept and image of the beautyful ones.
My initial reaction wasn't surprising, and I assumed it would be a short time before a diligent scholar examined the title's conceptual core to accurately represent the text's meaning. It is puzzling to me, nonetheless, that up until now, as far as I am aware, no thorough analysis has investigated this thematic center: the history and concept of the beautiful ones.
