bravo, mr strachey!
Pioneering biography
queen victoria by Lytton Strachey
still one of the best things around
Interesting portrait of a queen The enigmaticPrince Albert, and his evolving relationship with Victoria, is presentedwell.Strachey makes some startling suggestions about what Britain mighthave turned into, had Albert lived longer (answer: Prussia). This bookis elegantly written, and free of the psychobabble one might expect from amore modern book. The book is not boring.Although Victoria is alwaysproper, there is plenty of adultery and dysfunctional family behavior amongher many adult children. ... Read more |

Editorial Review Product Description None of Strachey's Victorians emerge unscathed. In his hands, FlorenceNightingale is not a gentle archangel descended from heaven to ministersweetly to wounded soldiers, but rather an exacting, dictatorial, andjudgmental crusader. Her "pen, in the virulence of its volubility, wouldrush ... to the denunciation of an incompetent surgeon or the ridicule of aself-sufficient nurse. Her sarcasm searched the ranks of the officials withthe deadly and unsparing precision of a machine-gun. Her nicknames wereterrible. She respected no one." Dr. Thomas Arnold, the man appointed torevamp the very private British public school system, fares little better:in Strachey's acid ink, he became "the founder of the worship of athleticsand the worship of good form." In this same vain, military hero GeneralGordon is portrayed as a temperamental, irascible hermit, occasionallydrunk and often found in the company of young boys--a man who tended toforget and forgo the tenets found in the Bible he kept with him always. Andthe powerful and popular Cardinal Manning, who came within a hair's breadthof succeeding Pope Pius IX, belonged, Strachey writes, "to that class ofeminent ecclesiastics ... who have been distinguished less for saintlinessand learning than for practical ability." As he offered up indelible sketches of his less-than-fab four, Strachey wasintent on critiquing established mores. This effortlessly superior wit knewfull well that deep convictions and good deeds often go hand in hand withhypocrisy, arrogance, and egomania. His task was to pique those whopretended they did not. --Jordana Moskowitz Customer Reviews (24)

fun read!
Wow!A great read! Taddeo writes really well---the book moves quickly and I was fascinated by Taddeo's analysis and discussion of Strachey's sexuality.What I liked most about this book (and I can't say this enough!) was its readability.This is a book for scholars and non-specialists. If you've read any of the books by the Bloomsbury group or if you love the Victorians, buy this book (actually you should buy it and read it no matter what!). ... Read more |
