520 1 $a"Lytton Strachey (1880-1932) is one of the key figures in the cultural life of twentieth-century Britain, and his letters are a literary treasure-trove of the man and his world, as well as a record of the startling and poignant love-affair between him and the painter Dora Carrington." "The breadth of his correspondence goes from precocious childhood letters to those written when he was a member of the secret Cambridge Apostles, and from letters to Leonard and Virginia Woolf, to Maynard Keynes and other members of the Bloomsbury Group, to love letters to Duncan Grant and Carrington. Michael Holroyd's life of Strachey changed biography as decisively as did Strachey's own Eminent Victorians, and this selection of Strachey's letters is a whole new chapter in the history of the last century." "The thousands of letters he wrote retain their vitality to this day - discussing changes in morals, history, politics, war and peace and the advent of modernism. He was largely responsible for our own view that the Victorians were priggish; he was openly homosexual, lived in a menage a trois with Ralph Partridge and Dora Carrington, and was a pioneer in the cultivation of the twentieth-century homosexual sensibility."--BOOK JACKET.
