Sommario/riassunto |
|
The Stracheys were an intelligent and unusual family, prominent in areas such as science and feminism in the 19th century and in the suffrage movement and women's education in the 20th. Examining Lytton Strachey, his parents and nine siblings, Caine provides a picture of a diverse and complex family. |
