Edith Sitwell?s endearing portrait of the young Victoria chronicles her unlikely ascension to the throne: spanning the succession crisis of King George III, her enduring love and marriage to Prince Albert, and her strength and power in a male dominated world. Weaving in Victoria?s personal letters and diaries, Sitwell breathes life into the Queen?s relationships with her family and her court. A rich exploration of Victoria?s reign and a social document of Victorian Britain, Victoria of England vividly illustrates the life of the iconic monarch with insight and emotion.
