​"Lytton Strachey" is a satirical essay by Sir Max Beerbohm, first published in 1922. The piece offers a humorous and critical portrayal of Lytton Strachey, a prominent biographer and critic associated with the Bloomsbury Group. Beerbohm's essay is known for its wit and irony, providing a caricatured depiction of Strachey's personality and literary style. In the essay, Beerbohm employs his characteristic humor to both celebrate and lampoon Strachey's approach to biography, particularly his penchant for debunking revered historical figures. The essay reflects Beerbohm's sharp observational skills and his ability to blend affection with critique, making it a notable example of early 20th-century literary satire.​ Note: For a comprehensive understanding of Beerbohm's portrayal of Lytton Strachey, readers are encouraged to consult the original essay, as it encapsulates the nuances of Beerbohm's satirical style.
