Download or read book Queen Victoria written by Lytton Strachey and published by New York Harcourt, Brace [1921]. This book was released on 1921 with total page 478 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lytton Strachey's acclaimed portrayal of Queen Victoria revolutionised the art of biography by using elements of romantic fiction and melodrama to create a warm, humorous and very human portrait of this iconic figure. We see Victoria as a strong-willed child with a famous temper, as the 18-year-old girl queen, as a monarch, wife, mother and widow. Equally fascinating are the depictions of her relationships: with her governess "precious Lehzen", with Peel, Gladstone and Disraeli, with her beloved Albert and, in later life, her legendary devotion to her Highland servant John Brown.

Queen Victoria was the queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland from 1837-1901. She was the second longest reign of any other British monarch in history. Queen Victoria was the only child of Victoria Saxe-Saalfield-Coburg and Edward, the duke of Kent. She was the queen of Great Britain for 63 years. Till date, she is the second longest ruling British monarch after Queen Elizabeth II. Victoria's reign saw advances in the industry, great cultural expansion, communications, and science; and the building of London Underground and railways. She died in England in 1901. The British Parliamentary politics went through a major transition during the Queen Victoria's reign, which includes splitting of the Tory Party and forming of the Liberal and Conservative parties. This started a succession of opposing administrations. Victoria played an important role of a mediator between arriving and departing prime ministers. She was particularly very fond of Benjamin Disraeli, a Conservative Prime Minister, who helped to restore the public opinion following Queen Victoria's long seclusion due to the death of her beloved, Albert. The book is a detailed account of this longest ruling monarch in British history also known as the Victorian era.
Download or read book Queen Victoria written by Giles Lytton Strachey and published by . This book was released on 2019-10-15 with total page 544 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Queen Victoria was the longest reigning monarch in British history. In this concise biography, Lady Longford, long recognised as an authority on the subject, gives a full account of Queen Victoria's life and provides her unique assessment of the monarch. Victoria ascended the throne in 1837 on the death of her uncle William IV. In 1840 she married her first cousin, Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, and for the next twenty years they were inseparable. Their descendants were to succeed to most of the thrones of Europe. When Albert died in 1861 Victoria's overwhelming grief caused her to almost withdraw from public life for several years. This perceived dereliction of public duty, coupled with rumours about her relationship with her Scottish ghillie, John Brown, led to increasing criticism. Coaxed back into the public eye by Disraeli, she resumed her political and constitutional interest with vigour until her death in 1901. This classic and concise biography of Britain's longest-reigning monarch was written by Lady Elizabeth Longford who was a renowned biographer (she died in 2002). Her other titles include Wellington, Byron and the Queen Mother. Elizabeth Longford's first work on Queen Victoria, Victoria RI, won the James Tait Black memorial prize.

Download or read book Queen Victoria written by E Gordon Browne M a and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2013-01-16 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Queen Victoria (Alexandrina Victoria; 24 May 1819 - 22 January 1901) was the monarch of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland from 20 June 1837 until her death. From 1 May 1876, she used the additional title of Empress of India. Victoria was the daughter of Prince Edward, Duke of Kent and Strathearn, the fourth son of King George III. Both the Duke of Kent and King George III died in 1820, and Victoria was raised under close supervision by her German-born mother Princess Victoria of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld. She inherited the throne at the age of 18, after her father's three elder brothers had all died leaving no legitimate, surviving children. The United Kingdom was already an established constitutional monarchy, in which the Sovereign held relatively little direct political power. Privately, Victoria attempted to influence government policy and ministerial appointments. Publicly, she became a national icon, and was identified with strict standards of personal morality. Victoria married her first cousin, Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, in 1840. Their nine children married into royal and noble families across the continent, tying them together and earning her the nickname "the grandmother of Europe." After Albert's death in 1861, Victoria plunged into deep mourning and avoided public appearances. As a result of her seclusion, republicanism temporarily gained strength, but in the latter half of her reign, her popularity recovered. Her Golden and Diamond Jubilees were times of public celebration. Her reign of 63 years and seven months, which is longer than that of any other British monarch and the longest of any female monarch in history, is known as the Victorian era. It was a period of industrial, cultural, political, scientific, and military change within the United Kingdom, and was marked by a great expansion of the British Empire. She was the last British monarch of the House of Hanover. Her son and successor, Edward VII, belonged to the House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, the line of his father.

In October 1849, Godey's Lady's Book listed her as an assistant editor and she was also editor of Godey's Dollar Newspaper. Queen Victoria (1819 -1901) was the Queen regnant of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland from 1837 and the first Empress of India of the British Raj from 1876, until her death. Her 63-year reign is the longest reign in British history and the longest reign of any woman in history. Queen Victoria's reign marked the gradual establishment of a modern constitutional monarchy. As Victoria's monarchy became more symbolic than political, it placed a strong emphasis on morality and family values. Her biography is a look at over a half century of British history.
