Off-white cloth, with gilt-stamped spine title. Glossy, color illustrated dust jacket featuring Lytton Strachey Reading in the Garden by Dora Carrington. Includes Index. First American Edition "Lytton Strachey [1880-1932] is one of the key figures in the cultural life of the twentieth century. His letters, written with incisive wit and disarming candor, bring his extraordinary life into full relief, and provide a startling record of his work, his friendships, and his famous and unconventional love affair with the painter Dora Carrington. The breadth of his correspondence is remarkable, ranging 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, Maynard Keynes, and other members of the Bloomsbury Group, to love letters to Carrington and Duncan Grant. The thousands of letters he wrote (including a newly discovered letter to Virginia Woolf, published for the first time in this American edition) retain their vitality to this day, discussing changes in morals, the writing of history, literature and philosophy, politics, war and peace, and the advent of modernism" [from the dust jacket].
