Lytton Strachey "The duality of his temperament found a parallel in certain physical characteristics. He spoke with two voices. The one tiny as that of the gnat in Alice and Wonderland ; the other grave and deep. [...] There was a similar contrast in his demeanor; an extreme passivity bordering on lassitude was apt to be broken by the most fantastic gesticulation when he repudiated some enormity or hailed an extravagance that delighted him."

The large discrepancy in his parents' ages (thirty years) resulted in Lytton being much closer to his mother than his father.

Lytton Strachey Writer Lytton Strachey British Writer Giles Lytton Strachey (March 1 1880 - January 21 1932), a British writer, was born in London the eleventh of thirteen children and from 1899 to 1905 studied at Trinity College, Cambridge. From 1904 to 1914 he contributed book and drama reviews to The Spectator magazine. He joined other Cambridge graduates in the Bloomsbury group. His first major 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). In 1915 Strachey met Dora Carrington, a graduate of the Slade School of Art and the woman who would shortly devote herself to him for the rest of his life. He lived with the painter Dora Carrington, who loved him, and her husband Ralph Partridge, whom he loved. Cousin to Duncan Grant. Late in 1931 he began to decline rapidly from an illness which doctors were unable to identify. He died January 21, 1932, of what was later found to be stomach cancer. Carrington committed suicide a few weeks later, unable to live without him.

British Women's History Elsewhere on the Web from The Victorian Web Victoria in 1850 Strachey's 1921 biography of Queen Victoria was unlike his more biting Eminent Victorians (1918: Florence Nightingale was one of its subjects). The anecdotal style and clear affection for the subject make this work a landmark biography. Strachey later wrote Elizabeth and Essex: A Tragic History (1928), with an almost Freudian analysis of the life of another of England's great queens. Strachey's view of Queen Victoria has significantly shaped public and scholarly perception of her life and reign; even if more recent research questions some of his assumptions, the work is good insight into how Victoria has been perceived and why.

Through all the changes of his fortunes the powerful spirit of the man worked on undismayed. It was as if the Fates had laid a wager that they would daunt him; and in the end they lost their bet. His father was a rich West Indian merchant, a governor of the Bank of England, a Member of Parliament, who drove into town every day from his country seat in a coach and four, and was content with nothing short of a bishop for the christening of his children. Little Henry, like the rest, had his bishop; but he was obliged to wait for himfor as long as eighteen months. In those days, and even a generation later, as Keble bears witness, there was great laxity in regard to the early baptism of children. The delay has been noted by Manning's biographer as the first stumbling-block in the spiritual life of the future Cardinal: but he surmounted it with success. His father was more careful in other ways. "His refinement and delicacy of mind were such," wrote Manning long afterwards, "that I never heard out of his mouth a word which might not have been spoken in the presence of the most pure and sensitive, - except," he adds, " on one occasion. He was then forced by others to repeat a negro story which, though free from all evil
