An unparalleled manifesto for the modern biographer, Strachey's razorsharp essays about four prominent Victorians brought him tremendous fame. However, the great pacifist's subjects did not fare as well. In an attempt to challenge 19th-century liberal values, he skewers the legends glorifying Florence Nightingale, educator Thomas Arnold, Cardinal Henry Manning, and military hero General Charles George Gordon.
