Eminent Victorians
Lytton Strachey
An unparalleled manifesto for the modern biographer, Strachey's razor-sharp essays about 4 prominent Victorians brought him tremendous fame. However, his subjects fared less well. His challenge to 19th-century liberal values skewers the legends glorifying Florence Nightingale, educator Thomas Arnold, Cardinal Henry Manning, and military hero General Charles "Chinese" Gordon.
