Více o knize
Focusing on the lives of four significant figures from the Victorian era, the book offers a bold and irreverent examination of Cardinal Manning, Florence Nightingale, Thomas Arnold, and Charles George Gordon. Strachey's innovative approach to biography combines realism with psychological depth, challenging the conventional reverence typically afforded to these historical icons. Although met with mixed reactions, his critical perspective adds a unique texture to the narrative, making it a seminal work in biographical writing and a reflection of early 20th-century thought.
