Eminent Victorians
ISBN: 9781519571618 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 250 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. THE history of the Victorian Age will never be written; we know too much about it. For ignorance is the first requisite of the historian-ignorance, which simplifies and clarifies, which selects and omits, with a placid perfection unattainable by the highest art. Concerning the Age which has just passed, our fathers and our grandfathers have poured forth and accumulated so vast a quantity of information that the industry of a Ranke would be submerged by it, and the perspicacity of a Gibbon would quail before it. It is not by the direct method of a scrupulous narration that the explorer of the...

Queen Victoria
ISBN: 9781514191743 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 128 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. On November 6, 1817, died the Princess Charlotte, only child of the Prince Regent, and heir to the crown of England. Her short life had hardly been a happy one. By nature impulsive, capricious, and vehement, she had always longed for liberty; and she had never possessed it. She had been brought up among violent family quarrels, had been early separated from her disreputable and eccentric mother, and handed over to the care of her disreputable and selfish father. When she was seventeen, he decided to marry her off to the Prince of Orange; she, at first, acquiesced; but, suddenly falling in...

Eminent Victorians
ISBN: 9780199555017 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Eminent Victorians is a groundbreaking work of biography that raised the genre to the level of high art. It replaced reverence with skepticism and Strachey's wit, iconoclasm, and narrative skill liberated the biographical enterprise. His portraits of Cardinal Manning, Florence Nightingale, Thomas Arnold, and General Gordon changed perceptions of the Victorians for a generation.
Lytton Strachey's biographical essays on four "eminent Victorians" dropped an explosive charge on Victorian England when the book was published in 1918.

Few books have had such an impact on their own generation as did Eminent Victorians, which exposed the hypocrisy of the Victorian era by deflating the legends surrounding four of its most notable figures. In the process, Strachey revitalized the art of biography.

Eminent Victorians
ISBN: 9780140183504 / Angielski / Miękka / 1990 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. A genre-changing work of biography
Eminent Victorians marked an epoch in the art of biography; it also helped to crack the old myths of high Victorianism and to usher in a new spirit by which chauvinism, hypocrisy and the stiff upper lip were debunked. In it, Strachey cleverly exposes the self-seeking ambitions of Cardinal Manning and the manipulative, neurotic Florence Nightingale; and in his essays on Dr Arnold and General Gordon, his quarries are not only his subjects but also the public-school system and the whole structure of nineteenth-century liberal values. For... A genre-changing work of biography

Queen Victoria
ISBN: 9781515035435 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 312 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. When Queen Victoria died in 1901, she had ruled for nearly sixty-four years. She was a mother of nine and grandmother of forty-two and the matriarch of royal Europe through her children's marriages. To many, Queen Victoria is a ruler shrouded in myth and mystique, an aging, stiff widow paraded as the figurehead to an all-male imperial enterprise. But in truth, Britain's longest-reigning monarch was one of the most passionate, expressive, humorous and unconventional women who ever lived, and the story of her life continues to fascinate.

Eminent Victorians: Cardinal Manning, Florence Nightingale, Dr. Arnold, General Gordon
ISBN: 9781463714833 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 332 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Now re-formatted and typeset for clarity. Nominated as one of the "All-time Top 100 Non-Fiction Books" by the UK Guardian newspaper in 2011. Lytton Strachey's biographical essays on four 'eminent Victorians' caused uproar when the book was published in 1918. Instead of being laudatory or jingoistic - like many biographies up to that time - Strachey pulled no punches in describing England's adored heroes; his wit, insight and engaging narratives thrilled as well as shocked his contemporaries. Debunking Church, Public School and Empire, his portraits of Cardinal Manning, Florence Nightingale,...
