Eminenti Vittoriani by Lytton Strachey
A sharp, iconoclastic collection of four concise biographies that dismantles the sentimental myths of Victorian Britain by reexamining prominent public figures—exposing their personal contradictions, ambitions and frailties through witty, psychologically acute prose; the portraits combine social critique and skeptical irony to replace hagiography with compact character studies, and in doing so helped redefine modern biography.
