In 1911, [[Edward Tyas Cook]] was authorised by Nightingale's executors to write the official life, published in two volumes in 1913. Nightingale was also the subject of one of [[Lytton Strachey]]'s four mercilessly provocative biographical essays, ''[[Eminent Victorians]]''. Strachey regarded Nightingale as an intense, driven woman who was both personally intolerable and admirable in her achievements.<ref>Florence Nightingale, Monica E. Baly and H. C. G. Matthew, ''[[Oxford Dictionary of National Biography]]'', 2015.</ref> [[Cecil Woodham-Smith]], like Strachey, relied heavily on Cook's ''Life'' in her 1950 biography, though she did have access to new family material preserved at Claydon. In 2008, [[Mark Bostridge]] published a major new life of Nightingale, almost exclusively based on unpublished material from the Verney Collections at Claydon and from archival documents from about 200 archives around the world, some of which had been published by Lynn McDonald in her projected sixteen-volume edition of the ''Collected Works of Florence Nightingale'' (2001 to date).<ref name="BBC 2017"/> === Other === [[File:KLM MD 11 AMS.jpg|thumbnail|left|alt=A three-engine wide-body jet airliner in blue and gray livery|[[KLM]] [[McDonnell Douglas MD-11|MD-11]], registration PH-KCD, ''Florence Nightingale'']] In 2002, Nightingale was ranked number 52 in the [[BBC]]'s list of the [[100 Greatest Britons]] following a UK-wide vote.
