An unparalleled manifesto for the modern biographer, Strachey's razor-sharp essays about 4 prominent Victorians brought him tremendous fame. However, his subjects fared less well. His challenge to 19th-century liberal values skewers the legends glorifying Florence Nightingale, educator Thomas Arnold, Cardinal Henry Manning, and military hero General Charles "Chinese" Gordon.
Reprint of the Chatto and Windus, London, 1918 edition.
