Résumé

Lytton Strachey's 'Eminent Victorians' is a groundbreaking work of biography that revolutionized the genre with its sharp wit and unconventional approach. Published in 1918, Strachey delves into the lives of four prominent figures of the Victorian era: Cardinal Manning, Florence Nightingale, Thomas Arnold, and General Gordon. Through a series of essays, Strachey challenges the traditional hagiographic portrayal of these individuals, presenting them as complex and flawed human beings.
His satirical yet insightful writing style brings a fresh perspective to these historical figures and sheds light on the social and political context of the time. Strachey's ability to blend historical fact with literary flair makes 'Eminent Victorians' a compelling and thought-provoking read for anyone interested in Victorian history and biography. Lytton Strachey, a member of the Bloomsbury Group, was known for his unconventional and iconoclastic approach to writing.
His deep understanding of the Victorian era and his keen eye for detail allowed him to offer a unique portrayal of these historical figures. By challenging the prevailing myths and narratives surrounding these individuals, Strachey opened up new possibilities for biographical writing. 'Eminent Victorians' is a must-read for those looking to explore the intersection of literature and history, and for anyone interested in the complexities of human nature and character.
