Few books have had such an impact on their own generation as did Eminent Victorians, which exposed the hypocrisy of the Victorian era by deflating the legends surrounding four of its most notable figures. In the process, Strachey revitalized the art of biography.
Born in London in 1880, Lytton Strachey was a biographer, essayist, and literary critic. He was also a reviewer and drama critic for The Spectator and a regular contributor to Independent Review, Nation and Athenaeum, New Quarterly, and New Statesman. His works include Landmarks in French Literature, Queen Victoria, Pope, Elizabeth and Essex, and Characters and Commentaries.
