Beschreibung

Discover the lives of four influential figures from the Victorian era through the sharp, irreverent lens of Lytton Strachey in his acclaimed book Eminent Victorians. Strachey, a prominent member of the Bloomsbury Group, unveils the human flaws and intrigues of his subjects: Cardinal Manning, Thomas Arnold, General Charles Gordon, and even a hero like Florence Nightingale. While Nightingale is praised, Strachey's wittily written biographies expose the less-than-flattering side of the other three figures, revealing the power struggles and political intrigue that marked their careers. This book not only launched Strachey's career but also became a classic in the field of biography.
