Letters of Lytton Strachey

"[U]sefully complements Michael Holroyd's pioneering biography....[T]he letters are by turns funny, melancholic, witty, facetious, furious, teasing, romantic, cynical, affectionate, waspish, frank, dissembling--but always entertaining....The focus in THE LETTERS OF LYTTON STRACHEY is on personal rather than business relations, the life rather than the work. This results in a slight imbalance in the book as a rounded picture of Strachey's world, but Strachey's personal relations are, of course, of absorbing interest, and these letters contain substantial new information on the subject....They add considerably to our knowledge of Lytton Strachey, and their passion, their vividness, their genial obscenities, and their sheer fun fulfil this exacting writer's own ideal of allowing us to live for a while in his set."Levy, Paul is the author of 'Letters of Lytton Strachey ', published 2005 under ISBN 9780374258542 and ISBN 0374258546.
