Více o knize

Focusing on four prominent figures of the Victorian era, this biographical work offers a critical and irreverent perspective on historical icons such as Cardinal Manning, Florence Nightingale, Thomas Arnold, and Charles George Gordon. Strachey, a key member of the Bloomsbury Group, challenges traditional heroism with a realist approach that some found unsettling. Despite mixed reviews, the 1918 publication achieved commercial success and showcased Strachey's innovative style, marking a significant moment in modern biography.
