Beschreibung
Lytton Strachey genius wit iconoclast biographer pacifist and homosexual campaigner was at the nexus of the literary and artistic life of Bloomsbury. In the 1960s he was seen as a progenitor of the hippy cult. Now he appears as a far more subversive and challenging figure. He revolutionised the writing of biography and smuggled deviant sexual behaviour into our history in his reassessment of Elizabethan and Victorian times. For this re-telling of his story Holroyd has had access to published and unpublished material unavailable in the 1960s when his biography of Strachey first appeared. In many of Bloomsbury's three-cornered relationships he had only two sides of the triangle. Now he has all three and in a new social and political climate can tell the full story of this extraordinary world with candour sympathy and sexual explicitness. He has cut 100 000 words revised much of the text and added a wealth of new material about Strachey himself about Maynard Keynes Duncan Grant Rupert Brooke and most vividly about the tragic life of Strachey's companion Dora Carrington.
