Lytton Strachey : Elizabeth and Essex

'I collected my thoughts. My ideas about prison came from American films, and I envisaged cells of which one side would be made of iron bars, all giving on to a landing, like a zoo [...] I tried to read the book I had brought with me, a pocket edition of Lytton Strachey's "Elizabeth and Essex". It was not an ideal choice but I had snatched it up as I left my room.'
