Eminent Victorians Paperback - 1987
by Lytton Strachey; Introduction by Michael Holroyd
Summary
“Discretion is not the better part of biography,” Lytton warns us, and it is with this motto that he paints his portraits of Cardinal Manning, Dr. Arnold, Florence Nightingale, and General Gordon. The caricatures – which represent the world of religion, philanthropy, education, and politics – expose the high Victorian myths, and reveal a slightly darker truth about the leading figures of the era.Some say that he led the world into the next generation, but that claim is essentially over inflated. What can be said is that the line between fiction and non-fiction was blurred. A new genre was born: literary biography.

Description:
Harmondsworth. Middlesex.: Penguin Modern Classics, 1971. Paperback. Foxing to end pages. Slight wear to cover. Slight browning to edges of pages through age. In his famous study of four Victorian figures, in fact, only the essays on Cardinal Manning and Dr. Arnold are consistently severe; his portrait of Florence Nightingale, though it exploded the fable of the Lady of the Lamp, is often admiting, and the tragedy of General Gordon is retailed with a note of tenderness. 267 pp.. 1st Penguin Edition. Soft Cover. Good. 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall. Paperback.
