    Eduncle Best Answer

    Cardinal Manning, Florence Nightingale, Thomas Arnold and General Gordon.
    Lytton Strachey was a member of Bloomsbury group who made his influence in the literary world of twentieth century.  He is best known for Eminent Victorians (1918) a biographical book with short sketches of the Victorian idols Cardinal Manning, Florence Nightingale, Thomas Arnold, and Gen. Charles “Chinese” Gordon etc. In the book he adopted an irreverent attitude to the past and especially to the monumental life-and-letters volumes of Victorians, he proposed to write lives with “a brevity which excludes everything that is redundant and nothing that is significant.”He also wrote Queen Victoria (1921), Elizabeth and Essex (1928) and Portraits in Miniature (1931). He published critical writings, especially on French literature, but his greatest achievement was in biography.
