![]() ![]() Eminent Victorians was his first book and got his name popularized. His whole career was basically writing, as he left home in 1905 and starting jotting things down even earlier. The book gained so much popularity because of the way it was written - not only the events in someone's life, but also the psychological aspects. Lytton Strachey was born on March 1, 1880, and Eminent Victorians was his most famous work. At the time, the three men were considered heroes, but the book controversially represented them as not as important as that. The idea of the book was that all of the 'characters' or people that the biographies were about, are drastically different, but their lives can be connected in unique ways. The biographies include those of Cardinal Manning, Florence Nightingale, Thomas Arnold, and General Gordon, and the reputations of all but Florence Nightingale declined from their former status. Published in 1918, Eminent Victoriansis a collection of four biographies of prominent heroes at the time of the author, Lytton Strachey. ![]() ![]() ![]() Written by Samra Abbasi and other people who wish to remain anonymous We are thankful for their contributions and encourage you to make your own.
