Eminent Victorians by Lytton Strachey (Annotated)
Lytton Strachey is a member of the Bloomsbury Group and its book Eminent Victorians was initially published in 1918 and includes biographies of 4 notable Victorian individuals. Strachey's irreverence as well as wit gained recognition because it had been applied to three men and a woman that were previously viewed as heroes. Cardinal Manning, Florence Nightingales, Thomas Arnold as well as General Charles Gordon. Even though Nightingale is praised and her reputation enhanced, it presents some other subject matter in a less than attractive light - for instance, the plots of Cardinal Manning and Cardinal Newman.

Cardinal Manning * Florence Nightingale * Thomas Arnold * General Gordon Lytton Strachey's biographical essays on four 'eminent Victorians' dropped a depth-charge on Victorian England when the book was published in 1918. It ushered in the modern biography and raised the genre to the level of high literary art. Lytton Strachey approached his subjects with scepticism rather than reverence, and his iconoclastic wit and engaging narratives thrilled as well as shocked his contemporaries. Debunking Church, Public School and Empire, his portraits of Cardinal Manning, Florence Nightingale, Dr Arnold of Rugby, and General Gordon of Khartoum changed perceptions of the Victorians for a generation. This edition is unique in being fully annotated and in drawing on the full range of Strachey's manuscript materials and literary remains. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe.
