Fitzjames's younger brother Leslie was founding editor of the \u003cem\u003eDictionary of National Biography\u003c\/em\u003e and father of Virginia Woolf. \u003cem\u003eThe Life of Sir James Fitzjames Stephen, by his brother Leslie Stephen \u003c\/em\u003e(1895) is the biography of one eminent Victorian by another. It is a lucid and affectionate portrait, yet far from uncritical, as revealing of its author as its subject. With a narrative that embraces legal history, the government of India, the Victorian press, the crisis of religious faith, and the \"paradise lost\" of political liberalism, the biography is also an indispensable source for the history of the Stephen family, which belonged to what Noel Annan called\u003cbr\u003ethe \"intellectual aristocracy\" of the nineteenth century, connecting the Clapham Sect to the Bloomsbury group. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis first modern edition of \u003cem\u003eThe Life of Sir James Fitzjames Stephen\u003c\/em\u003e is a volume in the Oxofrd series, \u003cem\u003e Selected Writings of James Fitzjames Stephen\u003c\/em\u003e.
