Life and career

Youth

Strachey was born on March 1, 1880, at Stowey House, Clapham Common, London, the fifth son and the eleventh child of Lieutenant General Sir Richard Strachey, an officer in the colonial British armed forces, and his 2nd wife, the former Jane Grant, who became a leading supporter of the women's suffrage movement.

[1] The Stracheys had thirteen children in total, ten of whom survived to adulthood, including Lytton's sister Dorothy Strachey. Dorothy Bussy (née Strachey) (24 July 1865 – 1 May 1960 English novelist and translator

When Lytton was four years old, the family moved from Stowey House to 69 Lancaster Gate, north of Kensington Gardens. Lancaster Gate is a mid-19th century development in the Bayswater district of west central London, immediately to the north of Kensington Gardens See also Kensington Gardens South Australia, a suburb of Adelaide, Australia Kensington Gardens, once the private gardens of Kensington [2] This would be their home until Sir Richard Strachey retired twenty years later. [3] Lady Strachey was an enthusiast for languages and literature, making her children perform their own plays and write verse from early ages. She thought that Lytton had potential to become a great artist so she decided that he would receive the best education possible in order to be "enlightened". [4] By 1887 he had begun the study of French, a culture he would admire during his entire life. [1]

Strachey was educated at a series of schools, beginning with one at Parkstone, Dorset. Parkstone is an area of Poole, Dorset. It is divided into 'Lower' and 'Upper' Parkstone Dorset ( (or archaically, Dorsetshire) is a county in South West England on the English Channel coast This was a small school with a wide range of after class activities, where Strachey would exceed the other students acting skills, being particularly convincing when portraying female parts. He would even tell his mother how much he liked dressing as a woman in real life so as to confuse and entertain others. [5] Lady Strachey decided on 1893 that her son should start getting a more serious education, sending him to the Abbotsholme School in Rocester, Derbyshire where students where required to do manual work on a daily basis. Abbotsholme School is a private boarding and Day school founded in 1889 by Dr Cecil Reddie (1858–1932 at Rocester in Rocester (ˈroʊstɚ is a village and Civil parish in the East Staffordshire district of Staffordshire, England.

Warwickshire College is a large further and Higher education college spread across two counties Warwickshire and Worcestershire, in England [6][1] Sir Strachey was tired of his son's delicate personality so he told him to "grin and bear the petty bullying". [7] Strachey did eventually adapt to the school's life, eventually becoming one of the school's best students. His health also seemed to improve during the three years he spent at Leamington, although various illnesses continued to plague him. [8]

When in 1897 Strachey turned 17, Lady Strachey decided that her son was ready to leave school and go to university, but because she thought he was yet too young for Oxford she decided that he should first attend a smaller institution like it was the University of Liverpool. The University of Oxford (informally "Oxford University" or simply "Oxford" located in the city of Oxford, Oxfordshire, England is the The University of Liverpool is a University in the city of Liverpool, England. At Liverpool Strachey befriended his Professor of Modern Literature, Walter Raleigh, who, besides being his favourite lecturer, also became the most influential figure in his life before he went up to Cambridge. Professor Sir Walter Alexander Raleigh ( September 5, 1861 &ndash May 13, 1922) was a Scottish scholar poet and author The University of Cambridge (often Cambridge University) located in Cambridge, England, is the second-oldest university in the In 1899 Strachey took the Christ Church scholarship examination, wanting to get into Oxford's Balliol.

Christ Church (Ædes Christi the temple or house of Christ and thus sometimes known as Balliol College (ˈbeɪlɪəl founded in 1263 is one of the constituent colleges of the University of Oxford in England. The examiners determined that Strachey's academic achievements were not remarkable, plus they were struck by his "shyness and nervousness". [9] They recommended Lincoln College as a more suitable institution for Strachey, an advice that Lady Strachey took as an insult, deciding then that her son would attend Cambridge's Trinity College instead. Lincoln College (in full The College of the Blessed Mary and All Saints Lincoln) is one of the constituent colleges of the University of Oxford Trinity College is a constituent college of the University of Cambridge in Cambridge, England.

He won the Chancellor's Medal for English Verse in 1902 and was given a B. A. degree after he had won a second-class in the History Tripos in June 1903. He did not, however, take a leave of Trinity but remained there until October 1905 to work on a thesis which he hoped would gain him a Fellowship. [1] Strachey was often ill and had to leave Cambridge repeatedly in order to recover from the palpitations that would subdue him. A palpitation (medical term ectopic heart beat) is an abnormal awareness of the beating of the Heart, whether it is too slow too fast irregular [11]

The Cambridge period was a happy and productive one in Strachey's life. Among the freshmen at Trinity there were three with whom Strachey soon became closely associated: Clive Bell, Leonard Woolf and Saxon Sydney-Turner. Arthur Clive Heward Bell ( September 16, 1881 &ndash September 18, 1964) was an English Art critic, associated with the Leonard Sidney Woolf ( November 25, 1880 &ndash August 14, 1969) was a noted British political theorist author publisher and civil servant Together with one undergraduate, A. J. Robertson, the five students formed a small society called "The Midnight Society" which, in the opinion of Clive Bell, formed the source of the Bloomsbury Group. The Bloomsbury Group was an English collectivity of loving friends and relatives who lived in or near London during the first half of the twentieth century [12] Strachey also belonged to the "Conversazione Society," the famous "Cambridge Apostles" to which Tennyson, Hallam, Maurice, and Sterling had once belonged.

John Sterling ( 20 July 1806 – 18 September 1844) was a British Author. The Cambridge period was also one in which Strachey was highly prolific in writing verse, much of which has been preserved and some of which was published at the time. At Cambridge Strachey also became acquainted with other man who would greatly influence him like G. Lowes Dickinson, John Maynard Keynes, Walter Lamb (brother of painter Henry Lamb), George Mallory, Bertrand Russell, and G. E. Moore. Goldsworthy Lowes Dickinson ( August 6, 1862 - August 3, 1932) was an English historian and political activist John Maynard Keynes 1st Baron Keynes CB (ˈkeɪnz "cains" (5 June 1883 &ndash 21 April 1946 was a British Economist whose ideas Henry Lamb MC RA (1883 - 8 October 1960 was Australian-born British painter and follower of Augustus John.

Moore's philosophy, with its assumption that the summum bonum lies in achieving a high quality of humanity, in experiencing delectable states of mind, and in intensifying experience by contemplating great works of art, was a particularly important influence. [1]

In the summer of 1903 Strachey applied for a position in the Education Department of the Civil Service. Even though the letters of recommendation written for him by those under whom he had studied showed that he was held in high esteem by those at Cambridge, he failed to get the appointment and decided to try for a fellowship in Trinity College. [1] He spent from 1903 to 1905 writing his 400-page thesis on Hastings, which wasn't very well received among the scientists of his time. Hastings is a town on the coast of East Sussex in England; it is also the administrative centre for the Borough of the same name [1]

When in the autumn of 1905 he left Trinity College, his mother assigned him a bed-sitting room at 69 Lancaster Gate. After the family moved to 67 Belsize Gardens in Hampstead and later to another house in the same street, he was assigned bed-sitters. [1] But, as he was about to be 30 years old, family life started irritating him, and he started traveling into the country more often supporting himself by writing reviews and critical articles for The Spectator and other periodicals.

The Berkshire Downs are a Downland area in England lie north of the River Kennet, south of the River Thames, east of Swindon and west It would be during this time that he decided to grow a beard, which would become his most characteristic feature. [1] On May 9, 1911 he would write to his mother:

"The chief news is that I have grown a beard! Its color is very much admired, and it is generally considered extremely effective, though some ill-bred persons have been observed to laugh.

In 1911, H. A. L. Fisher, onetime president of the British Academy and of the Board of Education, was in the search of someone to write a short, one-volume survey of French literature.

[1]

Eminent Victorians

Soon after the publication of Landmarks, Strachey's mother and his friend Harry Norton[14] each provided him with £100 which, together with earning from the Edinburgh Review and from other periodicals, made it possible for him to rent a small, thatched cottage called "The Lacket" outside the village of Lockridge, near Marlborough in Wiltshire. The Edinburgh Review, founded in 1802 was one of the most influential British Magazines of the 19th century Marlborough ( IPA /ˈmɔːlbrə/ " Maul bruh" is a market town in the English county of Wiltshire on the Old Bath Road Etymology The county formerly 'Wiltonshire' or 'Wiltunscir' (9th century is named after the former county town of Wilton (itself named after the River Wylye Here he established himself until 1916. Here also he wrote the first three parts of Eminent Victorians. Eminent Victorians is a book by Lytton Strachey (the oldest member of the Bloomsbury Group) first published in 1918 and consisting of biographies [1]

Strachey's theory of biography was now fully developed and mature. He was being greatly influenced by Dostoevsky, whose novels Strachey had been reading and reviewing as they appeared in Constance Garnett's translations. Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoevsky (Фёдор Миха́йлович Достое́вский, sometimes transliterated Dostoyevsky, Dostoievsky, Constance Clara Garnett (née Black) ( 19 December, 1861, Brighton, England &mdash 17 December, 1946, The The influence of Freud would also be important on Strachey's later works, most notably on Elizabeth and Essex.

In 1916 Lytton Strachey was back in London living with his mother at 6 Belsize Park Gardens, Hampstead, whence she had now moved. Hampstead is an area of London, England, located north-west of Charing Cross. In the late autumn of 1917, however, his brother Oliver and his friends Harry Norton, John Maynard Keynes, and Saxon Sydney-Turner agreed to pay the rent on "The Mill House" at Tidmarsh, near Pangbourne, Berkshire.

At Cambridge he had became close friends with non-Apostles Thoby Stephen and Clive Bell, and they, together with sisters Vanessa and Virginia Stephen (later Bell and Woolf respectively), eventually formed the Bloomsbury group. Thoby Stephen (1880 - 1906 known as the Goth, was a member of the Bloomsbury Group, as were his sisters Vanessa Bell and Virginia Woolf and Arthur Clive Heward Bell ( September 16, 1881 &ndash September 18, 1964) was an English Art critic, associated with the (Adeline Virginia Woolf (née Stephen; 25 January 1882 – 28 March 1941 was an English Novelist and Essayist, regarded as one of the foremost The Bloomsbury Group was an English collectivity of loving friends and relatives who lived in or near London during the first half of the twentieth century From 1904 to 1914 Strachey contributed book and drama reviews to The Spectator magazine.
