Omschrijving

Eminent Victorians is a book written by Lytton Strachey that provides a critical and satirical look at four famous figures of the Victorian era: Cardinal Manning, Florence Nightingale, Thomas Arnold, and General Gordon. The book is divided into four sections, each devoted to one of these individuals, and it explores their lives, achievements, and shortcomings. Strachey's writing style is witty and irreverent, and he uses his biographical sketches to challenge conventional views of these historical figures. Eminent Victorians was originally published in 1918 and quickly became a bestseller. This edition is a large print version, making it easier to read for those with visual impairments.(LARGE PRINT EDITION) 1918. The famous biographer of the Victorians, Strachey was one of the leading members of the Bloomsbury group. 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.
