The confidant of <mask>, who until the end of his life treasured him with "closeness and advice". Origin and youth

The only son of the captain of the guard, Prince Nikolai Sergeyevich Golitsyn (Alekseevich line), from his third marriage with Alexandra Alexandrovna Khitrovo (1736–1796), the grandson of the Moscow governor <mask> (1695–1758). Widowed two weeks after the birth of her son, the mother in 1776 married retired Major Mikhail Kologrivov. She treated her son strictly and coldly, but the influential court lady Marya Perekusikhina fell in love with the "funny and pungent" boy and, by order of Catherine II, in 1783 he was enrolled in the Page Corps moving from Moscow to Saint Petersburg. The main focus was on teaching secular communication, French, fencing, dancing and horseback riding. Thus, from infancy, Prince Golitsyn had access to the courtyard, where at first it was valued as a participant in the children's games of the Grand Dukes – <mask> and Constantine, and then – as a witty and clever gentleman.His brother (by father) Mikhail Golitsyn, who took the place of the Yaroslavl governor, built the estate of Karabikha (now a museum-reserve) under the city. Another brother (by mother), Dmitry Kologrivov, accompanied the undersized prince Golitsyn in his mischief. Both brothers very skillfully imitated the manners and reprimand of others. Count Fyodor Tolstoy wrote:

 from the Page Corps in 1794, he was received as the lieutenant in the Preobrazhensky Regiment. But a year later he returned to the court and became a chamber junker of the small court of Grand Duke <mask>ich, and in 1796 he was transferred to the large imperial court. In 1799 he received the rank of chamberlain and in the same year became commander of the Order of Saint John of Jerusalem. He was expelled from Saint Petersburg by Emperor Paul I in the same year for an unknown reason.After the accession to the throne of <mask> I, Prince Golitsyn, as a person close to him, was appointed first as Chief Prosecutor of the I and later III Departments of the Senate, and then on October 21, 1803, at the insistence of the emperor, assumed the post of Chief Prosecutor of the Holy Synod. In 1810, while maintaining his former position, he became the head of the foreign confessions, in 1816 – the Minister of Education. Partly under the influence of Rodion Koshelev, this Epicurean and Volterian of Catherine's training, elected in 1806 as a member of the Russian Academy, turned to piety with a pronounced sentimental-mystical color. He easily undertook to explain to the emperor the most complex theological questions, although he knew the history of religion superficially and considered true Christianity "foggy sentimental pietism mixed with Orthodox dogmas, various heretical and sectarian teachings". Moscow Metropolitan Philaret recalled:

Having proclaimed piety as the foundation of true enlightenment, Golitsyn headed for the clericalization of education, which under his leadership was zealously pursued by Mikhail Magnitsky and Dmitry Runich. He was

texts: suspicious of contemporary literature, which was expressed in the extreme censorship. After in 1817 the departments of spiritual affairs and public education were merged into one ministry – the Ministry of Spiritual Affairs and Public Education – Golitsyn became the head of the latter, but was relieved of the post of Chief Prosecutor.Since 1810, <mask> was a member of the Council of State, and during 1839–1841 – Chairman of General Meetings. He was one of the few to whom the secret of the abdication of Konstantin Pavlovich was entrusted. He headed the Philanthropic Society, took part in the organization of the Guardians of Prisons Society and other philanthropic endeavors. In addition to the reform of theological schools, the establishment of the Russian Bible Society took place under Prince Golitsyn, which, under the presidency of the prince, translated the Bible into Russian and distributed more than 400,000 copies of it. The employees of this society, Popov, Magnitsky, Runich, and Cavelin, were appointed by Golitsyn to direct higher education, where they instilled clericalism; many professors were fired for lack of piety. Magnitsky demanded to completely close Kazan University ward to him. Although it was customary to associate the triumph of reaction with finding Golitsyn at the helm of the ministry, it was with him that the Saint Petersburg University and the Richelieu Lyceum were established.On August 9, 1821, the Russian Emperor <mask> established the Siberian Committee and Count Golitsin was included in its first composition. To neutralize the influence of <mask>n on the emperor, Aleksey Arakcheev led an intrigue under him with

 the participation of Metropolitan Seraphim and Archimandrite Photius, who convinced <mask> that Golitsyn's administration was detrimental to the church and the state. His enemies triumphed on May 27, 1824, when Prince Golitsyn was to resign in both departments, retaining only the title of chief over the postal department. He held the last post under Nicholas I, who valued in Golitsyn "the most faithful friend of his family". Over the years, his religiosity only intensified. A contemporary recalls:

In 1843, Count Golitsyn, due to visual impairment, left the capital and retired to Crimea, where he died in his estate of Gaspra. In the same Golitsyn Palace, Leo Tolstoy later wrote the novel "Hadji Murad".He was buried in the Balaklava Saint George Monastery. Personal life
Golitsyn spent his whole life a bachelor and was known for his intimate relationships with men. Nikolai Yazykov in a letter of 1824 cites an anecdote, "as if the sovereign had called for the famous sodomite Bantysh-Kamensky and ordered him to compile a list of all his acquaintances on this part, that Bantysh-Kamensky presented him with such a list, starting with the Minister of Education, then there was the chancellor and so on... After that he had an audience with the emperor and certified him oath in the truth of his report". <mask>ushkin ridiculed Golitsyn in the epigram "Here is the Tail Protector...". The famous memoirist and homosexual Philip Vigel recalls Golitsyn even more biasedly: "Without blushing, you can't talk about him, I won't say anything more: I'm not going to stain these pages with his stupidity, his baseness and vices".

<mask>, or John MacLean (8 Jan 1787, Caolas, Tiree - 26 Jan 1848, Addington Forks, Antigonish County, Nova Scotia) was a poet and highly important figure in both Scottish Gaelic literature and in that of Canadian Gaelic. Before emigrating with his family to Nova Scotia in 1819, MacLean had served as the Chief Bard to the 15th Chief of Clan MacLean of Coll. Following his arrival in the New World, MacLean remained a prolific poet and composed one of the most famous and most popular Scottish Gaelic emigration poems, Òran do dh' Aimearaga ("A Song to America"), which is also known as, A' Choille Ghruamach ("The Gloomy Forest"). Robert Dunbar has dubbed MacLean, "perhaps the most important of all the poets who emigrated during the main period of Gaelic overseas emigration", which took place between 1730 and 1860. Life

Ancestry
According to Robert Dunbar, MacLean, though not considered a Tacksman or a member of the Scottish nobility, could trace his descent back to Eachann Ruadh nan Cath, the 6th Chief of Clan Maclean of Duart, who was killed at the Battle of Harlaw in 1411. Furthermore, his maternal great-grandfather was Neil Lamont, who had been Chief Bard to the Chief of Clan Maclean of Coll. On his father's side, MacLean was related to the famous Tiree poet Gilleasbuig Làidir MacGilleain.Early life
<mask> <mask> was born on January 8, 1787, at Caolas, on the island of Tiree, in the Inner Hebrides of Scotland. He was the third son of Allan MacLean and Margaret MacFadyen. During his early life, MacLean worked as a shoemaker and small scale merchant. His grandson, Presbyterian minister and Canadian Gaelic scholar Rev. Alexander MacLean Sinclair (1840-1924), later wrote that the Bard was also a seanchai and that, "his powerful memory ensured that his stores of information connected with

texts: the Highland clans and poets were very great." MacLean was also very well acquainted with other great works of Scottish Gaelic literature, such as Alasdair Mac Mhaighstir Alasdair's Birlinn Chloinne Raghnaill ("The War Galley of Clanranald") and Duncan Ban MacIntyre's Moladh Beinn Dòrain ("In Praise of Ben Doran"), both of which he knew by heart. According to his grandson, Rev.Alexander MacLean Sinclair, "Nature gave the poet a mind of great capacity; but evidently it did not intend that he should become a wealthy man. He never attended regularly to his work; his mind was not upon it. Poetry occupied his thoughts when pegging sole-leather in Scotland, and cutting down trees in America; it took complete possession of him. He was a good poet; but a poor shoemaker, and a poor farmer. He was very fond of company. He was clannish, and took pleasure in visiting his friends and acquaintances." On July 19, 1808, <mask> <mask> married Isabella Black in Glasgow.In 1810, as the Napoleonic Wars were continuing to be fought, <mask> <mask> was conscripted into the Argyll and Bute Militia. The Bard apparently disliked military life intensely and arranged for a substitute to serve in his place in return for £40. MacLean's discharge papers bear the date of January 17, 1811. In 1818, <mask> <mask> published the poetry collection, Orain nuadh Ghaedhlach, le Iain Mac Illeain, ann an Eilean Tirreadh ("New Gaelic Songs Collected by John MacLean on the island of Tiree") at Edinburgh, with a dedication to his employer, Alexander, the 15th Chief of Clan MacLean of Coll. <mask> <mask>'s book consists of 22 poems of his own and 34 by other major Gaelic poets, including poems by Alexander MacKinnon and Mary Macleod that can no longer be found elsewhere.

 Robert Dunbar, was a handwritten manuscript of Gaelic poems which Dr. Hector Maclean of Grulin, Isle of Mull had made between 1738 and 1768. The manuscript was gifted to <mask> <mask> by the Doctor's daughter and contains an additional 104 pages of material, including fourteen of <mask> <mask>'s own poems.The manuscript is now in the Nova Scotia Archives. New World
It is still not known why he chose to emigrate. <mask> <mask>, as "one of the last professional poets to enjoy any patronage from a chieftain", had a very privileged life compared to other Highland tenant farmers. It is known that <mask> <mask> was able, by using his published book as security, to secure passage for himself and his family to the New World. In August 1819, the MacLean family set sail from the port of Tobermory, on the Isle of Mull, aboard the ship Economy and arrived at Pictou, Nova Scotia on about October 1, 1819. The MacLean family stayed at Pictou only for a week before traveling by boat to Merigomish. They settled first on a homestead at Barney's River, Pictou County.In the summer of 1820, <mask> <mask> cleared the land, planted potatoes, and built a small log cabin on the land, which he nicknamed, Baile-Chnoic ("Hill Farm"). While living in this claim <mask> <mask> composed his famous protest against the hardship of pioneer life: Òran do dh' Aimearaga ("A Song to America"), better known as A’ Choille Ghruamach ("The Gloomy Forest"). In the poem, according to Marcus Tanner, "MacLean complained about almost everything in Nova Scotia," and, "was intended as a warning to potential emigrants that Nova Scotia was not the land of prosperity they imagined it to be." According to Effie Rankin, "A' Choille Ghruamach ('The Gloomy Forrest') probably contains the most detailed and vivid account of pioneer life

texts: which exists in Gaelic. In this dirge, John MacLean bemoans his fate in the Canadian wilderness, where winter's cold is dreadful, summer's heat is equally oppressive, and always everywhere broods the menacing and invincible forest." Rev. MacLean Sinclair later wrote, "When the poet sent to Tiree his song on America, his friends were greatly distressed about him.They offered to send money to bring him back. MacLean of Coll, his old friend, wrote him a kind letter asking him to return, and offering him a piece of land free of rent. A more truthful poem than his description of America was never penned; yet it is almost a pity that he sent it home. It was no doubt the means of keeping many person's from emigrating." According to Michael Newton, however, MacLean's A' Choille Ghruamach, which is, "an expression disappointment and regret", ended up becoming, "so well established in the emigrant repertoire that it easily eclipses his later songs taking delight in the Gaelic communities in Nova Scotia and their prosperity." For example, <mask> Ailein's 1826 poem Òran a' Bhàil Ghàidhealaich ("The Song of the Gaelic Ball"), was composed for and first performed at a gathering organized by David Murray at Merigomish and to which only Gaelic speakers were invited. The song remains very popular among Gaelic-speakers in both Scotland and Nova Scotia and is often referred to by its first line, Bithibh Aotrom 's Togaibh Fonn ("Be Light-hearted and Raise a Tune").In 1827, <mask> <mask> received a gift of a large and beautiful drinking horn from William Forbes. <mask> <mask> celebrated the gift in his poem An Adharc ("The Drinking Horn") and later gave the horn as a gift to his close friend Fr. Colin Grant. During a weeklong election held at Pictou in September 1830, <mask> <mask> composed the song,

According to Michael Newton, "This election played out the tensions between two major provincial bodies, the popularly-elected Colonial Assembly and the Crown-appointed Council. Both of these governmental groups had been dominated by a small elite group consisting of settlers from England and anglophone Loyalists who had relocated to Nova Scotia in the aftermath of the American Revolutionary War. As his grandson... comments in the notes to the song, the ethnic slurs against Gaels that emerged during the campaign galvanized MacGill-Eain into exercising the social role of the poet to call for political and ethnic solidarity."According to Rev. Sinclair, "He took no special role in the election, until he was told that one of the Liberal candidates had made some insulting references to the Highlanders. He then went to work and composed this song. He spent the greater part of the night at it. He sang it [the] next day. Thousands were present. It had a most exciting effect.It's a real brosnachadh-catha" ("incitement to battle"). The MacLean family moved in January 1831 to a new homestead at Glenbard, near Addington Forks, Antigonish County, Nova Scotia. After he learned of the death of his former patron in 1835, <mask> <mask> composed the lament, Marbhann do dh'Alastair Mac-Gilleain, Tighearna Chola ("An Elegy for Alexander MacLean, the Laird of Coll"). Also in 1835, <mask> <mask> published twenty of his works of Christian poetry in Gaelic at Glasgow under the title, Laoidhean Spioradail le Iain MacGilleain ("Spiritual Songs by John MacLean"). Although Rev. Sinclair later alleged that the poems in this collection, "were very inaccurately printed", his claim has been

 disproved by comparisons to a manuscript in <mask> <mask>'s hand that was acquired by the National Library of Scotland in 2011. The manuscript contains all twenty poems as well as six unpublished poems and shows that <mask> <mask>'s Glasgow publisher had actually printed the texts of his poems very accurately.Following the Disruption of 1843, <mask> <mask> and his family joined the Nova Scotia branch of the Free Church of Scotland. In this, though, the MacLean family was far from unique. Most Presbyterian Gaels in Nova Scotia, like their co-religionists in the Gàidhealtachd of Scotland, made exactly the same choice. Despite this fact, Presbyterianism in Nova Scotia was considerably less strict than in an t-Seann Dùthaich ("the Old Country") and, "most of the stern traditions and harsh penalties of the Kirk", were never enforced in the New World. Almost certainly for this reason, <mask> <mask> felt able to build a very close friendship with Fr. Colin P. Grant, the Roman Catholic priest assigned to St. Margaret of Scotland Church in Arisaig. So close was their friendship that <mask> <mask> composed a work of Canadian Gaelic praise poetry in honor of Fr.Grant. <mask> <mask> died in Addington Forks, Nova Scotia on January 28, 1848. He became the first person buried in the Glen Bard Cemetery, where his grandson, Rev. Sinclair, also lies buried. In a Canadian Gaelic elegy composed for <mask> <mask>'s death, fellow Antigonish County poet John MacGillivray lamented:

Chaill sinn tuilleadh 's do bhàrdachd,
Ged a that sinn 'ga h-ionndrainn,
Chaill sinn t' fhiorachadh sàr ghasd. "We have lost more than your poetry,
Though we certainly miss that,
We have also lost your most excellent knowledge "

 Chola ("The Bard to the Laird of Coll") or as <mask> <mask> ("John, son of Allan"). In Nova Scotia, he is known  in Canadian Gaelic as,  Am Bàrd MacGilleain ("The Bard MacLean") and as, Bàrd Abhainn Bhàrnaidh ("The Bard of Barney's River"), after the location of the MacLean family's original homestead at Barney's River Station, Pictou County, Nova Scotia.Several of the Bard MacLean's songs were very popular during his own lifetime and a significant number have survived to this day among Gaelic singers and tradition-bearers on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean. Although the Gaels of Tiree have a long history of producing highly gifted songwriters and poets, "MacLean is also considered by some to be the greatest of the Tiree bards." During his employment as Professor of Gaelic Studies at St. Francis Xavier University in Antigonish, American linguist Kenneth E. Nilsen (1941-2012), whose contagious enthusiasm for the language did much to inspire the ongoing revival of Canadian Gaelic, would take his students every year to visit the grave of <mask> <mask> at Glen Bard, Antigonish County, Nova Scotia. Publication and expurgation
In 1856, John Boyd, alias <mask>, the founder and editor of the bilingual Antigonish newspaper The Casket, published eleven of <mask> <mask>'s poems in the volume Orain Ghaelach Le Iain Mac Illeathain, Bard Thighearn Chola ("Gaelic Songs by John MacLean, Poet to the Laird of Coll"). Boyd's rendering of the text, according to Robert Dunbar, is much closer to <mask> Alein's manuscripts than in the highly influential poetry collections edited by the Bard's grandson, Presbyterian minister Rev. Alexander MacLean Sinclair. The minister's rendering of the texts have been widely distributed, republished, and viewed as the cannibal text.According to Robert Dunbar,

texts: however, Rev. Sinclair, "took considerable liberties", and his versions often, "differ dramatically", from his grandfather's surviving manuscripts. One of the sole exceptions is Am Gàidheal am-measg nan Gall ("The Gael among the Lowlanders"), for which <mask> <mask>'s manuscript version and published text is "essentially the same", as the poem later published by his grandson. Other poems were deliberately left out of print by Rev. Sinclair. Although it survives in manuscript form and was published in John Boyd's collection, <mask> <mask>'s piece of praise poetry about Fr. Colin Grant of St. Margaret's Roman Catholic Church in Arisaig was excluded by Rev.Sinclair from his edition of his grandfather's collected poems, Clarsach na Coille ("The Harp of the Forest"). Rev. Sinclair similarly excluded <mask> <mask>'s Òran do Dhòmhnaill MacArthair ("A Song for Donald MacArthur"), a piece of comic poetry about a Gael from Tiree who travels to the Scottish Lowlands to work with the harvest crews, only to get drunk in Glasgow, robbed of all his earnings, and infected with Venereal Disease by a prostitute. Furthermore, Rev. Sinclair did confine himself to bowdlerizing his grandfather's poetry. When <mask> <mask> had emigrated to Nova Scotia in 1819, he carried with him an exceptionally rare early and uncensored edition of Alasdair Mac Mhaighstir Alasdair's groundbreaking 1751 poetry collection, Ais-eridh na Sean Chánoin Albannaich ("The Resurrection of the Old Scottish Language"). In 1915, Rev.Sinclair, donated his grandfather's copy of the book to St. Francis Xavier University in Antigonish, Nova Scotia. In a letter to the University's Rector, Rev. Hugh P. MacPherson, Rev. Sinclair apologized for having razored out everything between pages 152 and 161, but explained that the Gaelic poems

 printed on the missing pages were, "abominably filthy". These pages had contained two of Alasdair <mask>ir Alasdair's most famous works of erotic poetry; Moladh air Deagh Bhod ("In Praise of a Good Penis") and Tineas na h-Urchaid ("The Venereal Disease"). According to Robert Dunbar, Rev. Sinclair's expurgated and heavily rewritten versions of his grandfather's poems were long treated as authoritative and have heavily influenced even the versions collected since from the oral tradition.Dunbar writes, however, that this is perfectly understandable, as people without access to the manuscripts or earlier and more accurate collections would have trusted Rev. Sinclair due to his familial connection to the poet. Writing in 2020, however, Dunbar announced that his own corrected edition of <mask> <mask>'s 44 surviving secular poems was shortly to be published by the Scottish Gaelic Texts Society. In popular culture
Scottish-Canadian poet Watson Kirkconnell published a literary translation of <mask> <mask>mach in the 1948-'49 theme issue of Dalhousie Review under the title, "John MacLean’s Gloomy Forest". The same song has been performed and recorded in the original Gaelic by Mary Jane Lamond, Arthur Cormack, James Graham, and Mary Ann Kennedy. External links

<mask> is a Spanish composer. Biography
Born in 1964 in Madrid, musically trained in the guitar, disciple of Francisco Guerrero and Luis de Pablo in his native city, <mask> emerged very early as one of the most talented composers of his generation. At just 20 his name was on the bill at the Almeida Festival in London and shortly afterwards he was commissioned by Pierre Boulez to write a new work for the Ensemble InterContemporain.

 Madrid. In 1993, he won the Premio Gaudeamus with his Concierto for oboe and chamber ensemble, and in the same year received the prize El ojo crítico from Radio Nacional de España.In 2005, he was awarded the Premio Nacional de Música for composition. The musical life of <mask> <mask> has been marked by a serene but fierce search for himself, without reservations or concessions, which has meant he has forged one of the most original and personal career paths of the current panorama: His art, vital, complex, deep, always bathed in its author's personality, feeds on numerous influences from different eras and places on the planet, influences that, in the hands of the composer naturally become a part of his personal heritage, which he uses to configure an unequalled musical language. <mask> <mask> is a founder member of Música Presente.

His biography Queen Victoria (1921) was awarded the James Tait Black Memorial Prize. Early life and education

Youth
<mask> was born on 1 March 1880 at Stowey House, Clapham Common, London, the fifth son and eleventh child of Lieutenant General Sir <mask>, an officer in the British colonial armed forces, and his second wife, the former Jane Grant, who became a leading supporter of the women's suffrage movement. He was named "<mask>" after an early sixteenth-century Gyles <mask> and the first Earl of Lytton, who had been a friend of <mask>'s when he was Viceroy of India in the late 1870s. The Earl of Lytton was also <mask>'s godfather. The <mask>s had thirteen children in total, ten of whom survived to adulthood, including Lytton's sister <mask> and youngest brother, the psychoanalyst, <mask>.When <mask> was four years old the family moved from Stowey House to 69 Lancaster Gate, north of Kensington Gardens. This was their home until Sir Richard retired 20 years later. Lady <mask> was an enthusiast for languages and literature, making her children perform their own plays and write verse from early ages. She thought that Lytton had the potential to become a great artist so she decided that he would receive the best education possible in order

By 1887 he had begun the study of French, and he was to admire French culture throughout his life. <mask> was educated at a series of schools, beginning at Parkstone, Dorset. This was a small school with a wide range of after-class activities, where <mask>'s acting skills exceeded those of other pupils; he was particularly convincing when portraying female parts.He told his mother how much he liked dressing as a woman in real life to confuse and entertain others. Lady <mask> decided in 1893 that her son should start his more serious education and sent him to Abbotsholme School in Rocester, Derbyshire, where pupils were required to do manual work every day. <mask>, who always had a fragile physique, objected to this requirement and after few months he was transferred to Leamington College, where he became a victim of savage bullying. Sir Richard, however, told his son to "grin and bear the petty bullying." <mask> did eventually adapt to the school and became one of its best pupils. In the 1960s one of the four 'houses' at the school was named after him. His health also seems to have improved during the three years he spent at Leamington, although various illnesses continued to plague him.When <mask> turned seventeen, in 1897, Lady <mask> decided that he was ready to leave school and go to university, but because she thought he was too young for Oxford she decided that he should first attend a smaller institution, the University of Liverpool. There <mask> befriended the Professor of Modern Literature, Walter

 Raleigh, who, besides being his favourite teacher, also became the most influential figure in his life before he went up to Cambridge. In 1899 <mask> took the Christ Church scholarship examination, wanting to get into Balliol College, Oxford, but the examiners determined that <mask>'s academic achievements were not remarkable and were struck by his "shyness and nervousness." They recommended Lincoln College as a more suitable institution, advice that Lady <mask> took as an insult, deciding then that he would attend Trinity College, Cambridge, instead. Cambridge
<mask> was admitted as a Pensioner at Trinity College, Cambridge, on 30 September 1899. He became an Exhibitioner in 1900 and a Scholar in 1902. He won the Chancellor's Medal for English Verse in 1902 and was given a B.A.degree after he had won a second class in the History Tripos in June 1903. He did not however take leave of Trinity, but remained until October 1905 to work on a thesis that he hoped would gain him a fellowship. <mask> was often ill and had to leave Cambridge repeatedly to recover from the palpitations that affected him. <mask>'s years at Cambridge were happy and productive. Among the freshmen at Trinity there were three with whom <mask> soon became closely associated: Clive Bell, Leonard Woolf and Saxon Sydney-Turner. With another undergraduate, A. J. Robertson, these students formed a group called the Midnight Society, which, in the opinion of Bell, was the source of the Bloomsbury Group. Other close friends at Cambridge were Thoby Stephen and his

Lowes Dickinson, John Maynard Keynes, Walter Lamb (brother of the painter Henry Lamb), George Mallory, Bertrand Russell and G. E. Moore. Moore's philosophy, with its assumption that the summum bonum lies in achieving a high quality of humanity, in experiencing delectable states of mind and in intensifying experience by contemplating great works of art, was a particularly important influence. In the summer of 1903 <mask> applied for a position in the Education Department of the Civil Service. Even though the letters of recommendation written for him by those under whom he had studied showed that he was held in high esteem at Cambridge, he failed to get the appointment and decided to try for a fellowship at Trinity College.From 1903 through 1905 he wrote a 400-page dissertation on Warren Hastings, the eighteenth-century Indian Imperialist, but the work failed to secure <mask> the fellowship and led to his return to London.

After the family moved to 67 Belsize Gardens in Hampstead, and later to another house in the same street, he was assigned other bed-sitters. But, as he was about to turn 30, family life started irritating him, and he took to travelling into the country more often, supporting himself by writing reviews and critical articles for The Spectator and other periodicals. In 1909 he spent some weeks at a health spa in Saltsjöbaden, near Stockholm in Sweden. In this period he also lived for a while in a cottage on Dartmoor and about 1911–12 spent a whole winter at East Ilsley on the Berkshire Downs. During this time he decided to grow a beard, which became his most characteristic feature.On 9 May 1911 he wrote to his mother:The chief news is that I have grown a beard! Its colour is very much admired, and it is generally considered extremely effective, though some ill-bred persons have been observed to laugh. It is a red-brown of the most approved tint, and makes me look like a French decadent poet—or something equally distinguished. In 1911 H. A. L. Fisher, a former President of the British Academy and of the Board of Education, was in search of someone to write a short one-volume survey of French literature. Fisher had read one of <mask>'s reviews ("Two Frenchmen," Independent Review (1903)) and asked him to write an outline in 50,000 words, giving him J. W. Mackail's Latin Literature (1909) as a model.

Despite almost a full column of praise in The Times Literary Supplement of 1 February and sales that by April 1914 had reached nearly 12,000 copies in the British Empire and America, the book brought <mask> neither the fame he craved nor the money he badly needed.Eminent Victorians and later career
Soon after the publication of Landmarks, <mask>'s mother and his friend Harry Norton supported him financially. Each provided him with £100, which, together with his earnings from the Edinburgh Review and other periodicals, made it possible for him to rent a small thatched cottage, The Lacket, outside the village of Lockeridge, near Marlborough, Wiltshire. He lived there until 1916 and it was there that he wrote the first three parts of Eminent Victorians. <mask>'s theory of biography was now fully developed and mature. He was greatly influenced by Dostoyevsky, whose novels he had been reading and reviewing as they appeared in Constance Garnett's translations. The influence of Freud was important on <mask>'s later works, most notably on Elizabeth and Essex, but not at this earlier stage. In 1916 <mask> <mask> was back in London, living with his mother at 6 Belsize Park Gardens, Hampstead, where she had now moved.In the late autumn of 1917, however, his brother Oliver and his friends Harry Norton, John Maynard Keynes and Saxon Sydney-Turner agreed to pay the rent on the Mill House at Tidmarsh, near Pangbourne, Berkshire. From 1904 to 1914 <mask>

 contributed book and theatre reviews to The Spectator. Under the pseudonym "Ignotus", he also published a number of drama reviews. During the First World War, <mask> applied for recognition as a conscientious objector, but in the event he was granted exemption from military service on health grounds. He spent much of the war with like-minded people such as Lady Ottoline Morrell and the Bloomsburys. His first great success, and his most famous achievement, was Eminent Victorians (1918), a collection of four short biographies of Victorian heroes. Unlike any biography of its time, Eminent Victorians examines the career and psychology of historical figures by using literary devices such as paradox, antithesis, hyperbole, and irony.This work was followed by another in the same style, Queen Victoria (1921). From then on, <mask> needed no further financial aid. He continued to live at Tidmarsh until 1924, when he moved to Ham Spray House near Marlborough, Wiltshire. This was his home for the rest of his life. Death
<mask> died of stomach cancer on 21 January 1932, aged 51. It is reported that his final words were: "If this is dying, then I don't think much of it." Personal life and sexuality
Though <mask> spoke openly about his homosexuality with his Bloomsbury friends, and had relationships with a variety of men including Ralph Partridge, details of <mask>'s sexuality were not widely known until the publication of a biography by Michael Holroyd in the late 1960s.The painter Dora Carrington and <mask> had a lifelong, open, loving but

 platonic relationship. They eventually established a permanent home together at Ham Spray House, where Carrington would paint and <mask> would educate her in literature. In 1921, Carrington agreed to marry Ralph Partridge, not for love but to secure a three-way relationship. Partridge eventually formed a relationship with Frances Marshall, another Bloomsbury member. Shortly after <mask> died, Carrington committed suicide. Partridge married Frances Marshall in 1933. <mask> was mainly interested sexually in Partridge, as well as in various other young men, including a secret sadomasochistic relationship with Roger Senhouse (later the head of the publishing house Secker & Warburg).<mask>'s letters, edited by Paul Levy, were published in 2005. In popular culture
Virginia Woolf's husband Leonard Woolf said that in her experimental novel The Waves, "there is something of Lytton in Neville." <mask> is also said to have been the inspiration behind the character of St John Hirst in her novel The Voyage Out. Michael Holroyd describes <mask> 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 <mask>." In the Terminus Note in E. M.

<mask> started Kyokushin kaikan around age of 10 and received black belt six and half years later. He made his professional K-1 fighting debut on July 20, 1997 at the K-1 Dream '97 tournament against Kyokushin and Seidokaikan fighter Andy Hug. This was their second encounter, the first being at the 5th Kyokushin World Tournament in 1991 that resulted in a controversial knockout victory for <mask> with a technique that connected after the bell rang. The second fight was also won by <mask> quickly earning the Brazilian a large fan base in Japan as well as making him one of the then top contenders for the K-1 World GP Championship title.International reception was mixed, however, with Dave Meltzer and other pundits expressing their belief that Hug's loss was a fight fixed in order to set Filho up as a new star. <mask> has since held championship titles in both K-1 as well as in IKO
