Aardvarchaeology - by Dr. Martin Rundkvist 
“Eminent Victorians” – snap! Always have lots of good reads to recommend under my belt but just in the last little while I also ticked off Mr. Strachey’s iconoclastic classic! – and learnt rather more about the English flavour of the Church of Rome than I really ever thought necessary. General Gordon is a character that also runs through Alice Thomas Ellis “The Inn at the Edge of the World”, 1990, so recently enjoying that book took me off to Strachey, already conveniently sitting in The Pile, & I just had to follow it with Kathryn Hughes “Victorians Undone”, 2017, where a further suite of Gordon’s contemporaries get unpicked in amusing style.
