This nine-volume selection from the letters of Queen Victoria, with
ancillary material, was commissioned by her son, Edward VII, and
published between 1907 and 1932, with a gap of almost twenty years
between the third and fourth volumes. The editors of the first
three volumes, the poet and writer A. C. Benson (1862-1925) and the
second Viscount Esher (1852-1930), administrator and courtier,
decided that the plan for the selection of letters from the
thousands available should be to publish 'such documents as would
serve to bring out the development of the Queen's character and
disposition, and to give typical instances of her methods in
dealing with political and social matters'. Volume 1 contains
introductory chapters about the Queen's early life, and letters to
and from the young princess, continuing through her accession,
coronation, courtship and marriage, and ending in 1843.
