Rather than treating his subjects with unquestioning admiration, Strachey examines their ambitions, contradictions and weaknesses with sharp psychological insight. His concise, ironic style challenged the reverential approach traditionally taken toward Victorian heroes and helped establish a new form of modern biography.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Folio Vault","offers":[{"title":"Very Good","offer_id":55216390078803,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Good","offer_id":55421107208531,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/thefoliovault.com\/products\/eminent-victorians-1967-folio-society-260","provider":"Folio Vault","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
