Sobre este artículo
London: Chatto & Windus, 1922. Bright green loth, paper spine label. Frontis, five plates. With the bookplate of collector/bibliographer Richard Little Purdy. Label darkened, else a near fine copy, lacking the jacket. A must for Bloomsbury collectors.
First edition. Dedicated to his friend John Maynard Keynes, Strachey presents his biographical portraits of French and English literary greats culled from his earlier essays, but with a twist. All of these essays were extensively rewritten from their original appearances as Strachey was ever critical of his earlier works, as if "Lytton Strachey" was a land he didn't care to revisit. In this publication he writes of Racine, Sir Thomas Browne, Shakespeare's Final Period, The Lives of Poets, Madame du Deffand, Voltaire, Rosseau, Blake, and others.
