Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life of Queen Victoria: Reproduced From "the Times" With Photogravure Illustrations Queen Victoria was a ruler of a new type. When she ascended the throne the popular faith in Kings and Queens was on the decline. She revived that faith; she consolidated her throne; she not only captivated the affections of the multitude, but won the respect of thoughtful men; and all this she achieved by methods which to her predecessors would have seemed impracticable - methods which it required no less shrewdness to discover than force of character and honesty of heart to adopt steadfastly. A Court jester once remarked that it was better for a country to be governed by a Queen than by a King, for in the latter case the influence of women would prevail, whereas in the former the ascendency Of men was sure to make itself felt. Queen Victoria illustrated this maxim in a way never con templated by the humourist, for she lived all her life subject to the guidance of wise men. But to accept the guidance of the wise is in itself a sign Of too rare wisdom. The Queen was no woman Of placid temperament who could remain indifferent to public affairs so long as her domestic concerns were not interfered with. T O imagine that she divested herself of all responsibilities and secured to herself a peaceful life by doing, without reflection, whatever her Ministers advised, would be absolutely to misunderstand her intelligent, sensitive nature, and to ascribe grand results to very petty causes. It is with good advice as with other commodities - the best is given to those who want the best and can judge Of its quality; and whilst all who approached the Queen have borne witness to her candour and reasonableness in relations with her Ministers, all have likewise proclaimed how anxiously she con sidered advice that was submitted to her before letting herself be persuaded that she must accept it for the good of her people. By thus acting she put statesmen on their mettle, and raised the level of public morality. We know how in private life our conduct may be regulated by the fear of Offending some person who claims no absolute authority to check us, but whose good opinion we highly value. Coming from such a quarter a look of astonishment, a criticism conveyed under the form of a mild question, or mere silence, are potent means of control and it was mainly this kind Of control that the Queen exercised over public men, in many cases with signal benefit, throughout her long reign.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Victoria, Her Life and Reign: An Illustrated Biography of the Queen, From the Year 1819 to the Present Time There is not much to be said by way of preface. Whatever labour of research appeared to me to be necessary has been honestly faced and, so far as I am aware, no important source of information has been overlooked. I have plodded carefully through the Queen's Leaves and More Leaves, and have given - not merely a few long quotations, chosen haphazard and thrown in to make up copy, but - what is practically an epitome of both volumes. This has involved a good deal of tedious labour; but if the biography has gained in complete ness and interest by the process (the only end contemplated), there is no need to regret the course pursued.

Download or read book Queen Victoria Twenty Four Days That Changed Her Life written by Lucy Worsley and published by St. Martin's Press. This book was released on 2019-01-08 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of the queen who defied convention and defined an era A passionate princess, an astute and clever queen, and a cunning widow, Victoria played many roles throughout her life. In Queen Victoria: Twenty-Four Days That Changed Her Life, Lucy Worsley introduces her as a woman leading a truly extraordinary life in a unique time period. Queen Victoria simultaneously managed to define a socially conservative vision of Victorian womanhood, while also defying its conventions. Beneath her exterior image of traditional daughter, wife, and widow, she was a strong-willed and masterful politician. Drawing from the vast collection of Victoria’s correspondence and the rich documentation of her life, Worsley recreates twenty-four of the most important days in Victoria's life. Each day gives a glimpse into the identity of this powerful, difficult queen and the contradictions that defined her. Queen Victoria is an intimate introduction to one of Britain’s most iconic rulers as a wife and widow, mother and matriarch, and above all, a woman of her time.

Book excerpt: 'Facts are introduced with a cool intelligence and take us through Victoria's 81 years with skill in selection and quotation. Precise, informative, well balanced in comment... All is admirably documented... Mullen and Munson give a perspective to Victoria's life and times.' The Sunday Times 'I must say at once that I have enjoyed this new biography... As an exercise in scholarly rather than journalistic compression, it is skilful and well proportioned... As a biography... it is indeed multum in parvo... Beginning as a BBC radio series, it should end as the most useful short account of Victoria's reign now available to the general public... the true research involved in this account has produced many pleasant surprises.' History & Archaeology Review 'An excellent introduction to an enormous subject.' The Tablet 'This book stands out as by far the best short account of Victoria as a woman and Queen. It deserves a wide sale for its accuracy and charm, and its freedom from any attempt to force her into a mould. This delightful book.' Church of England Newspaper 'A remarkable woman, well portrayed here.' The Birmingham Post 'A vivid, intimate and sometimes unexpected portrait.' Worcester Weekend News 'It is the gossipy, human anecdotes that make this biography such a delight.' Wiltshire Gazette & Herald
Download or read book A Royal Passion written by Anne M. Lyden and published by Getty Publications. This book was released on 2014-02-04 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In January 1839, photography was announced to the world. Two years prior, a young Queen Victoria ascended to the throne of Great Britain and Ireland. These two events, while seemingly unrelated, marked the beginnings of a relationship that continued throughout the nineteenth century and helped construct the image of an entire age. A Royal Passion explores the connections between photography and the monarchy through Victoria’s embrace of the new medium and her portrayal through the lens. Together with Prince Albert, her beloved husband, the Queen amassed one of the earliest collections of photographs, including works by renowned photographers such as Roger Fenton, Gustave Le Gray, and Julia Margaret Cameron. Victoria was also the first British monarch to have her life recorded by the camera: images of her as wife, mother, widow, and empress proliferated around the world at a time when the British Empire spanned the globe. The featured essays consider Victoria’s role in shaping the history of photography as well as photography’s role in shaping the image of the Queen. Including more than 150 color images—several rarely seen before—drawn from the Royal Collection and the J. Paul Getty Museum, this volume accompanies an exhibition of the same name, on view at the J. Paul Getty Museum from February 4 to June 20, 2014.
