In this surprising new life of Victoria, Christopher Hibbert,
master of the telling anecdote and peerless biographer of England's
great leaders, paints a fresh and intimate portrait of the woman
who shaped a century. His Victoria is not only the formidable,
demanding, capricious queen of popular imagination--she is also
often shy, diffident, and vulnerable, prone to giggling fits and
crying jags. Often censorious when confronted with her mother's
moral lapses, she herself could be passionately sensual, emotional,
and deeply sentimental. Ascending to the throne at age eighteen,
Victoria ruled for sixty-four years--an astounding length for any
world leader. During her reign, she dealt with conflicts ranging
from royal quarrels to war in Crimea and rebellion in India. She
saw monarchs fall, empires crumble, new continents explored, and
England grow into a dominant global and industrial power. This
personal history is a compelling look at the complex woman whom,
until now, we only thought we knew.
