[edit] Resistance to WWI

In the film Carrington, Strachey is depicted as a conscientious objector to World War I. If this is true, then I find it to be pretty important and should be on the page.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.230.35.236 (talk) 20:37, 29 June 2007

[edit] November 2007

I honestly wish there were more than only a handful of people here who knew somthing about Strachey besides what was portrayed in a MOVIE. Wellesradio (talk) 21:57, 24 November 2007 (UTC)Wellesradio

[edit] Tone problems

This seems to suffer from being an essentially single source article, which source is, I would gather, an excessively fawning biography. Could someone suggest an additional substantive source we could use? Mangoe (talk) 19:39, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

"Lytton Strachey: his mind and art," Charles Richard Sanders. New Haven: Yale University Press, 1957. is a terrible book, written by a fan who purposely ignored many aspects of Strachey's life. The book's coffee-table tone reflects in the article, i know, but it was my only source. I've since gotten a hold of Michael Holroyd's Lytton Strachey - A biography, i've been reading it and taking notes, not adding much to the article yet, but the book is 1000 pages long...it's taking me some time. If you can get a hold of it too it would be great, it's very complete plus i got it for like 5€ on Amazon.--Yamanbaiia^{(free hugs!)} 21:08, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
