Hardcover. Condición: Very Good. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Very Good. Jackets by Duncan Grant and Nina Hamnett Ilustrador. 1st Edition. The Two Volume set of Michael Holroyd's magisterial biography of gay Bloomsbury writer Lytton Strachey (1880-1932). Some edge wear to top an bottom of largely mustard yellow jacket of Vol. 1 (pub. 1967, price 63s)), some edge wear and 2" loss to bottom spine, of chocolate brown jacket of Vol. 2 (pub. 1968, price 84s), some slight grubby marks and spotting to page fore edges, folds of both vols rubbed, internally clean tight and square, overall a pair of vg+ copies for their age. Lytton Strachey, genius, wit, iconoclast, biographer, pacifist and homosexual campaigner, was at the nexus of the literary and artistic life of Bloomsbury. In the 1960s he was seen as a progenitor of the hippy cult. He revolutionized the writing of biography and smuggled deviant sexual behaviour into our history in his reassessment of Elizabethan and Victorian times. In many of Bloomsbury's three cornered relationships, he had only two sides of the triangle. Now he has all three, and in a new social and political climate can tell the full story of this world. Michael Holroyd has revisited much about Strachey himself, about Maynard Keynes, Duncan Grant, Rupert Brooke, and about the tragic life of Strachey's companion, Dora Carrington.
