"The girl, the wife, the aged woman, were the same: vitality, conscientiousness,

pride, and simplicity were hers to the latest hour."

A remarkably fresh and engaging account of Britain's long-reigning monarch,

Queen Victoria, who ascended to the throne at eighteen, in 1819, and died in

1901.

Lytton Strachey captures her essential spirit in concise and elegant prose, with

an eye and an ear keenly attuned to human nature, and its foibles. The portraits

he draws of Victoria's husband, Albert, her family members, and the procession

of Prime Ministers, beginning with her beloved Lord M, are vivid and trenchant.

Written only twenty years after her death, this biography exemplifies the

emergence of modern thought from the Victorian Era.

Lytton Strachey was an English writer and critic. A founding member of the

Bloomsbury Group and author of Eminent Victorians, he is best known for

establishing a new form of biography in which psychological insight and

sympathy are combined with irreverence and wit.

Queen Victoria was written in 1921, and is in the public domain.
