📱 eBook en inglés LIFE OF HER MOST GRACIOUS MAJESTY THE QUEEN (SUMMARIZED EDITION)

In these two volumes, Sarah Tytler offers a measured, anecdotal life of Queen Victoria, tracing her guarded childhood, accession in 1837, early reliance on Lord Melbourne, and the consolidation of constitutional monarchy. Attentive to her partnership with Prince Albert—culminating in the Great Exhibition—Tytler interweaves public ceremony with private duty, mourning, and renewed visibility. In decorous Victorian cadence, and using court reports, parliamentary sources, and the Queens published journals, she embeds biography in imperial statecraft. Sarah Tytler—the pen name of Scottish writer Henrietta Keddie—was a prolific novelist and biographer who foregrounded womens agency within domestic and civic life. Her commitment to "improving" literature and to instructive narrative frames Victoria as both exemplar and historical actor. Composing amid nineteenth‑century royal commemoration, she synthesizes accessible storytelling with a moral historians attention to character, education, and duty. Recommended to readers of Victorian studies, political history, and gender and monarchy, this biography matters less for novelty than for its contemporary lens. It offers a lucid synthesis and a revealing mirror of how Victorians imagined sovereignty, duty, and empire—clear, thoughtful, and illuminating for scholars and generalists alike.
