Eminent Victorians
En Anglais – Eminent Victorians is a groundbreaking work of biography that raised the genre to the level of high art. It replaced reverence with skepticism and Strachey’s wit, iconoclasm, and narrative skill liberated the biographical enterprise. His portraits of Cardinal Manning, Florence Nightingale, Thomas Arnold, and General Gordon changed perceptions of the Victorians for a generation. Lytton Strachey’s biographical essays on four « eminent Victorians » dropped an explosive charge on Victorian England when the book was published in 1918.
