Lytton Strachey’s first great success, and his most famous achievement, was “Eminent Victorians” (1918), a collection of four short biographies of Victorian heroes. With a dry wit, he exposed the human failings of his subjects and what he saw as the hypocrisy at the centre of Victorian morality. This work was followed in the same style by “Queen Victoria” (1921).
Listening to this historical work has added to my interest piqued by the PBS series. The voice and reader inflection and understanding added to the value of the story. I will recommend this one to my fellow Victoria fans.
