EMINENT VICTORIANS: The Illustrated Edition.
Edition: First thus.
London: Bloomsbury, (1988) dj. Hardcover first edition - An illustrated edition - in both full color and black and white - of Strachey's most famous and influential book, originally published in 1918, and one which revolutionized the writing of biography. His barbed prose removed these revered Victorians from their pedastals as he wrote about them with scepticism rather than reverence, selecting figures from Church, Medicine, Public School, and Empire, - that is, Cardinal Manning, Florence Nightingale, Dr. Arnold of Rugby, and General Gordon of Khartoum. Foreword by Frances Partridge. Large format. 192 pp. ISBN: 0-747502188.
Condition: Fine in a fine dust jacket (as new.)
