A New (But Very Nearly Old) Proof of the Rogers-Ramanujan Identities

We present a new proof of the Rogers-Ramanujan identities. Surprisingly, all its ingredients are already in Rogers' seminal paper from 1894, where he gave a considerably more complicated proof.

It is a pleasure to dedicate this paper to Stephen Milne, whose work has been one of my main sources of inspiration. I would like to thank Andrew Sills for the reference to his master’s thesis and for making it available [18]. I also thank the referees for several useful comments.
