Michael Holroyd, the biographer of this work's author, argued that its author saw the four sections of it as movements to a symphony. Scurrilously attacking all of its subjects, its author admitted that this work's purpose was to explain the nature of international disputes leading to World War I. The first section of this work chronicles a man who "devoured the Apocalypse" at the age of nine after reading Paley's Evidences. The third section attacks a public hero whom the author thought mindlessly instigated a regimen based on the classics and not the hard sciences. Its last section criticizes the central figure for his efforts in dealing with the Mahdi in Sudan. This work's second part attacks the "Lady with the Lamp" for being intolerably cruel. For 10 points, identify this series of biographies of Thomas Arnold, "Chinese" Gordon, Cardinal Manning, and Florence Nightingale, a work of Lytton Strachey.
