Four Victorian saints, a cardinal, a nurse, a headmaster and a general, told with a raised eyebrow: ambition, obstinacy and muddle where the monuments show virtue, and an age's self-regard buried along the way.

The history of the Victorian Age will never be written; we know too much about it.
Eminent Victorians, Lytton Strachey
