N2  - "Eminent Victorians" by Lytton Strachey is a biographical work published in 1918. It examines four prominent figures from the Victorian era: Cardinal Manning, Florence Nightingale, Thomas Arnold, and General Charles Gordon. Strachey challenged the heroic reputations of his subjects with irreverence and wit, revealing hidden intrigues, personal flaws, and questionable legacies. The book revolutionized biographical writing by replacing traditional hagiography with penetrating psychological insight, ultimately dismantling Victorian pretensions to moral superiority and reshaping how readers viewed their recent past.
