Editing Lytton Strachey (section)

==In popular culture==
[[Virginia Woolf]]'s husband [[Leonard Woolf]] said that in her experimental novel ''[[The Waves]]'', "there is something of Lytton in Neville". Lytton is also said to have been the inspiration behind the character of St John Hirst in her novel ''[[The Voyage Out]]''. [[Michael Holroyd]] describes Strachey as the inspiration behind Cedric Furber in [[Wyndham Lewis]]'s ''The Self-Condemned''. In Lewis's novel ''[[The Apes of God]]'' he is seen in the character of Matthew Plunkett, whom Holroyd describes as "a maliciously distorted and hilarious caricature of Lytton".<ref>{{cite book|last=Rintoul|first=M.
