- (1880-1932) an English writer and one of the most famous members of the Bloomsbury Group. He was noted for his intelligent humour, and for creating a new style of biography (= books about people's lives) full of amusing remarks and without too much respect for the subject of the book. His best-known work is Eminent Victorians. He also wrote about Queen Elizabeth I and Queen Victoria.
