About this product

Product Information

Queen Victoria inherited the throne at eighteen and went on to be one of the greatest monarchs in British history- head of a dynastic realm, Empress of India, steely matriarch, 'Grandmother of Europe' and the emblem of an age. Overturning the established pictures of both the romantic Young Victoria and the dour old lady, this is a fresh and engaging portrait from one of Britain's most talented biographers. Jane Ridley sheds surprising new light on the many stages of Victoria's life, from the lonely, unloved child, kept virtual prisoner by her mother, to her celebrated love match to Albert, through motherhood, widowhood, her relationship with John Brown and on to the height of her - and Britain's - power. Exploring the tensions between Victoria's private self and her public vocation, this is a compelling portrayal of a woman and an era.
