Round 11: Tossup 7

Oscar Wilde quipped that an author [emphasize] born into this family had written a book by a different member of this family “with the literature left out” to criticize her novel Robert Elsmere. An essay by a member (-5[1])of this family claims “religion will be replaced by poetry” and that Chaucer did not possess “high seriousness.” A whipping enthusiast from this family runs the central institution in the first novel by Thomas Hughes. A writer from this family (15[1])urged the “study of (*) perfection” (10[1])in a critical work that calls the middle classes “Philistines.” In the third part of Eminent Victorians, Lytton Strachey traces England’s obsession with athletics to a Rugby School headmaster from this (10[1])family. For 10 points, Culture and Anarchy (10[1])is by a critic (10[1])from what family, who also wrote of an “eternal note of sadness” in “Dover Beach”? ■END■ (10[1])
