A lawyer by profession, Theodore Martin (1816-1909) gained literary
distinction as both a humorous essayist and versatile translator.
He found his greatest success, however, in the role of biographer
to Prince Albert (1819-61). Commissioned by Queen Victoria to
memorialise her late husband, this five-volume work was first
published between 1875 and 1880. Intended as a continuation of the
biography begun by Charles Grey (also reissued in this series), it
has been described as 'less adulatory in tone than might be
expected'. A treasury of letters and memoranda, it presents a
detailed portrait of the character, words and deeds of a man whose
life was necessarily immersed in the great events of his time.
Volume 3 covers the period from 1854 to 1856 and deals extensively
with the significant role played by Albert during the Crimean War.
