Description
Queen Victoria's life was one of unparalleled longevity and influence. She ruled for nearly sixty-four years, leaving an indelible mark on millions of people across Europe and the British Empire. A prolific diarist and correspondent, Victoria's personal writings offer a unique insight into her life, though many of these have been lost to time. Her journals were transcribed by her daughter Princess Beatrice, while her son Edward VII destroyed her letters, sparking speculation about what was concealed. This biography, exhaustively researched and definitive in its scope, explores the complex circumstances that led to Victoria's coronation, her childhood, marriage, and widowhood, set against the backdrop of a pivotal moment in British and European history.
