Four Victorians, and Strachey holds each one at arm's length like something faintly comic. Cardinal Manning, Florence Nightingale, Doctor Arnold and General Gordon receive the treatment that ended the age of the reverent monument: economical, ironic, deadly. This is the book that taught the twentieth century how to write biography, and how to enjoy it.
