Book excerpt: The marriage of Victoria and Albert is one of the most famous relationships in history. But Albert died in middle age and Victoria spent twice as long as his widow than as his wife. This book is about Victoria's widowhood when she became the longest serving European sovereign and the matriarch of a huge clan. The book is beautifully illustrated throughout with portraits from the author's collection and uses some of Victoria's own words from her journal and letters to help tell the story. The first years of Victoria's widowhood were the least successful of her reign. She refused to appear in public and her popularity suffered. She gradually emerged from self-imposed gloom but her seclusion in remote homes, far from London, fuelled scandalous rumours about her private life. The story of Victoria's widowhood includes the men in her life. At only forty-two, the queen was a desirable catch but never considered another foray into the royal marriage market. She formed a close relationship with a male servant, flirted with her prime minister, and became very fond of a handsome son-in-law. Late in life she had a puzzling relationship with an Indian young man. By the end of her reign, Victoria was an institution and the icon of the age; the symbol of Britain's superpower status and monarch of two hundred million subjects in an empire that stretched around the globe. She is the British monarch in history whose name everyone knows. Victoria the Widowed Queen is the last of three books about The Colourful Personal Life of Queen Victoria. They focus on Victoria as a woman - her personal life, the events that formed her character, and the relationships that were important to her. Young Victoria covers her early years including the difficult childhood that formed her character and how she came to the throne aged only eighteen. Victoria & Albert looks at her marriage to Albert and how she balanced the very different roles of sovereign and Victorian wife and mother.

Book excerpt: The author of the “monumental, scholarly study” The Reign of Queen Victoria delves into her unique relationship with her son Edward during her final years (Kirkus Reviews). In this biography, Hector Bolitho paints a fascinating portrait of the life of the two monarchs, focusing on how their contentious relationship evolved after the death of Victoria’s beloved Prince Consort. Victoria and Edward are here given equal attention, with their often-conflicting perspectives presented without bias or retrospective judgement. Bolitho begins the narrative in 1861 with the death of Albert and Queen Victoria’s inconsolable grief at the loss of her love. As Victoria’s mourning begins to impact her rule, young Edward is torn between his youthful, pleasure-seeking nature and his duties as heir to the throne. In this authoritative and insightful biography, Bolitho illustrates the latter part of Victoria’s rule, highlighting the tumultuous relationship between a grieving widow and her unruly son. Under Bolitho’s sympathetic eye, these two giants of British history are, finally, rendered human.

Download or read book Young Victoria written by Susan Symons and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 65 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book about the young Queen Victoria is beautifully illustrated throughout with portraits and other memorabilia from the author's collection. It covers the somewhat bizarre circumstances of Victoria's birth, when there was an undignified race to produce the next heir to the British throne; her lonely childhood under a tough regime and without any friends of her own age; and the national adulation when she succeeded as a teenager. It ends with how she fell in love with Albert. 'Young Victoria' focuses on the story of Victoria as a woman - her personal life, the events that formed her character, and the relationships that were important to her. It uses some of her own words from her journal, to help tell the story. This short book is intended to be light-hearted and easy-to-read and should appeal to anyone who likes history, or follows royalty, or is interested in people's personal stories. The overwhelming public image of Queen Victoria is of the elderly queen towards the end of her reign. She is serious and unsmiling, even gloomy; more of a symbol than a person. But Victoria has a colourful life story which is full of drama, intrigue and surprises. She came to the throne as a pretty eighteen-year-old; her public image was very different at the start of her reign than at the end. 'Young Victoria' is the first part of 'The Colourful Personal Life of Queen Victoria'. It will be followed by two more books - 'Victoria and Albert', covering her marriage to and relationship with Albert, when they changed the image of the royal family and founded a dynasty; and 'The Widowed Queen', about the long years of her widowhood after Albert's early death, when she became the doyenne of sovereigns and the grandmamma of Europe.

Download or read book Victoria & Albert written by Susan Symons and published by . This book was released on 2016-08-13 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book about the marriage of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert tells the story of one of the most famous relationships in history. Their marriage was by no means a grand match for Victoria and was very unpopular with the British public. There were early troubles for the couple with power struggles, personality clashes, and unwelcome pregnancies; but they created a true partnership, a happy family life, and founded a dynasty. The book ends with Albert's early death, and how a man in the prime of life was worn out with the stresses and strains of being Victoria's husband. Victoria was pregnant for a third of her married life, and the book looks at how she dealt with pregnancy, childbirth, and being a mother. Queen Victoria and Prince Albert were married at the Chapel Royal, St James's Palace in London, on 10 February 1840, when they were both twenty years old. For her, their marriage followed a whirlwind romance and Albert would be a life-long passion. For him, it was a successful outcome of long-laid plans - marrying Victoria was his career. They were in an unusual position for their time, because it was Victoria who was the sovereign and Albert had a supporting role. Their marriage would succeed, but stormy waters lay ahead. 'Victoria and Albert' uses some of Victoria's own words from her journal and letters to help tell the story and is beautifully illustrated throughout with portraits and other memorabilia from the author's collection. This short book is intended to be light-hearted and easy-to-read and should appeal to anyone who likes history, or follows royalty, or is interested in people's personal stories. 'Victoria and Albert' is the second of three books about 'The Colourful Personal Life of Queen Victoria'. They focus on the story of Victoria as a woman - her personal life, the events that formed her character, and the relationships that were important to her. The first book, 'Young Victoria', looked at her early years, including her difficult childhood and how she came to the throne aged only eighteen. The third book, 'The Widowed Queen', will cover the long years of her widowhood after Albert's early death, as the doyenne of sovereigns and grandmamma of Europe.

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.
