In the 1960s  however  many of Stracheys friends and lovers were still alive; much could not be said  and access to letters and resources was restricted. Since then  almost all his circle has died  and homosexuality in England has been decriminalized. In telling Stracheys life anew  Holroyd has drawn on a wealth of previously unavailable material  bring fresh candor and accuracy to his account of Stracheys friendships with E. M. Forster  Virginia and Leonard Woolf  Duncan Grant and Vanessa Bell  Ralph and Frances Patridge  and his companion Dora Carrington  among others. In many of Bloomsburys three-cornered relationships  Holroyd could lay claim to only two sides of the triangle. Now he has all three with which to recount the story of this extraordinary man and his complex world. At the center of the drama is the long-lasting relationship between Strachey and Carrington and their \"Triangular Trinity of Happiness\" with Ralph Partridge. In equally elegant and humorous prose  Holroyd shows the parts that many men and women played in this comedy of manners as it developed into a tragedy.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45953216610357,"sku":"ByrdShop_0374194394","price":22.65,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780374194390.jpg?v=1788181786","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/lytton-strachey-the-new-biography-9780374194390","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
