Eminent Victorians by Lytton Strachey shattered conventions when published in 1918, launching a new era of iconoclastic history with its irreverent portraits of four Victorian icons: Cardinal Manning, Florence Nightingale, Dr. Thomas Arnold, and General Gordon. Strachey, a leading light of the Bloomsbury Group, wielded satire and psychological insight to expose the contradictions beneath their saintly reputations, forever changing how biography was written. The work opens with Manning's ecclesiastical power struggles, revealing how ambition masked as piety shaped the Oxford Movement. Nightingale emerges as both heroic reformer and tyrannical perfectionist her wartime achievements juxtaposed with personal ruthlessness. Strachey's take on Arnold dismantles the myth of the benign educator, showing how his Rugby School reforms bred militaristic conformity. The final portrait of Gordon, the doomed imperialist in Khartoum, becomes a searing indictment of British hubris. More than just Victorian biographies, these essays dissect an entire age's moral pretensions. Strachey's razor-sharp prose mocking Arnold's "neat little sermons" or Gordon's messianic delusions pioneered literary modernism in historical writing. His archival rigor (digging through diaries and letters) pairs with wicked humor to humanize legends, making this essential reading for understanding how Edwardians rejected Victorian certainties after World War I's trauma.

Lytton Stracheys Eminent Victorians redefined biographical writing with its incisive, irreverent portraits of four iconic 19th-century figures. Published in 1918, this groundbreaking work dismantles Victorian hagiography through sharp psychological insight and modernist irony. Strachey, a central figure in the Bloomsbury Group, dissects Cardinal Mannings ecclesiastical ambition, Florence Nightingales complex legacy, Dr. Thomas Arnolds educational reforms, and General Gordons imperial contradictions. The book opens with Mannings rise to power within the Catholic Church, contrasting his spiritual zeal with political maneuvering. Strachey juxtaposes Nightingales public image as the Lady with the Lamp against her obsessive, domineering private persona. In his critique of Dr. Arnold, he questions the moral rigidity behind Rugby Schools educational ideals. The final portrait of Gordon captures the tragic absurdity of British imperialism during the Khartoum siege. Stracheys prose blends wit with meticulous research, situating the work within categories like Modernist Literature, Historical Biography, and Cultural Criticism. By focusing on flaws rather than virtues, he exposes the tensions between public myth and private reality, challenging the idolization of Victorian heroes. The narratives fragmented structure and subjective perspective reflect Bloomsburys rejection of traditional storytelling. This edition includes critical annotations contextualizing Stracheys anti-establishment stance in post-World War I Britain. Eminent Victorians remains essential reading for understanding how biography evolved into a tool for cultural critique.

This book addresses an extremely prevalent medical problem: low back pain. It is not a general anatomy book, but it relates specifically to the lumbosacral spine, encompassing anatomy, histology, histopathology, and imaging all in one volume. For students, the text incrementally introduces them to lumbosacral anatomy terms and scientific knowledge by using photographs of gross and histological sections of the spine, as well as schematic drawings and images, in preparation for clinical practice. It answers many questions about the pathogenesis of low back pain, helpful for clinicians, both for treatment decisions and for counselling patients.Key features:Provides a clear explanation for many of the pain generators in low back pain and illuminates this perplexing and ubiquitous problemAddresses a gap in the existing literature, as 'non-specific' or mechanical lumbosacral spine pain accounts for by far most chronic spinal pain sufferers’ complaints for clinicians from general medical practitioners to spinal specialists in various fields such as sports medicine who deal with spinal pain syndromesIllustrates anatomical structures that can be injured and thus become responsible for causing mechanical lumbosacral spine pain; frequently, such injuries cannot be detected on sophisticated imaging such as MRI

Giles of Rome's On Ecclesiastical Power
Giles of Rome was the archbishop of Bourges and a loyal champion of Pope Boniface VIII during the Franco-papal crisis of 1296-1303. On Ecclesiastical Power was written at the height of the conflict between Pope Boniface VIII and King Philip IV of France and represents the earliest fully articulated and philosophically developed defense of the "hierocratic" ideology of the medieval papacy. Giles's theory that all government must be legitimized by the pope was based on scriptural, philosophical, patristic, and canonical sources, and his conclusion that the pope is the rightful ruler and final judge of the world-even in secular matters-is the definitive statement on papal power in the Middle Ages. This book offers a new and complete critical edition of the Latin text, based on a collation of five fourteenth-century manuscripts. It is accompanied by a literal English translation and a detailed introduction analyzing the context and content of the treatise. The book takes into account the hitherto unconsidered Cremona manuscript of On Ecclesiastical Power and will be indispensable to scholars and students of the history of political thought and international relations.

Giles of Rome's De regimine principum

pokkari
From the time of its composition (c.1280) for Philip the Fair of France until the early sixteenth century, Giles of Rome's mirror of princes, the De regimine principum, was read by both lay and clerical readers in the original Latin and in several vernacular translations, and served as model or source for several works of princely advice. This study examines the relationship between this didactic political text and its audience by focusing on the textual and material aspects of the surviving manuscript copies, as well as on the evidence of ownership and use found in them and in documentary and literary sources. Briggs argues that lay readers used De regimine for several purposes, including as an educational treatise and military manual, whereas clerics, who often first came into contact with it at university, glossed, constructed apparatus for, and modified the text to suit their needs in their later professional lives.
