The tragic and romantic novels I read are Elizabeth and Essex. This novel is a book of biography and history. The theme of this book is "history of tragedy". The author, Lytton Strachey, tells the reader about the two "love birds" that are supposed to be together. That name is Elizabeth and Essex. Lytton Strachey showed a very "comprehensive" picture of the book. For very important reasons, I think it is very important that the author can provide a picture of a good book.

The character of Lytton Strachey is a very important person in the history of biography and makes people stop. His three famous books, the outstanding Victorian era, Queen Victoria, and Elizabeth and Essex all have rumors about being unable to do and biography. Therefore I cited many possible answers to the question about whether biography is artistic, or why it fails if not. Lytton Strachey was born as a writer at a lucky moment. Biography and his new freedom were in the form of great appeal when he first tried in 1918. For writers who wish to write poetry or drama like him but who suspect creativity, biography seems to provide a promising choice. Finally, it is possible to tell the truth of the deceased; the Victorian character is very rich and many of them are badly distorted by portraits portrayed on them.

Strachey, (Giles) Lytton (1880-1932), British biographer and literary critic introduced a widely imitated humorous and impressionist biographies. Strachey was born in London. He is connected with the Bloomsbury group of intellectuals. His outstanding Victorian era (1918) - Florence nightingale and other short biographies - won his broad recognition. In this work, he carefully chose his facts to present a very personal portrait of his subject. Strach used the same method in the biography of Queen Victoria (1921), Elizabeth and Essex (1928), and miniature portrait (1931). His critical articles often appear in "observers" and are summarized in books and characters (1922), figures and reviews (1933).
