I've always meant to read Eminent Victorians--Strachey is always such an interesting figure when you read about Bloomsbury, but I haven't experienced his own writing. I'm glad to hear it's entertaining!

Somewhat marred by Eleanor suddenly getting married at the end, after she and Margery had previously sworn to be old maids together, but you can't have everything.

OH NO! Why??? Must this always happen??? My spinster self thanks you for the warning, because the rest of the book sounds very much like the sort of thing I'd love, and I would hate to read it and have to deal with the sudden whiplash of a completely unnecessary marriage. Since I have fair warning, I can brace myself going in.

sufficient proof that the Victorians are perfectly capable of satirising the Victorians themselves.

Love it!
