内容简介

When it was published in 1918, EMINENT VICTORIANS became one of the first books to take apart the heroes of an earlier era. Its irreverent essays on Cardinal Manning, Florence Nightingale, Dr. Arnold and General Gordon found an eager audience in the post-WW I generation.

Strachey debunks the myths surrounding these Victorian personalities. His estimates now require considerable revision, but retain authority.
