1927. The Reign, 22nd January 1901 to 6th May 1910. A biography of
King Edward VII, by the English biographer and critic, Sir Sidney
Lee, who is best-known for A Life of William Shakespeare. Edward
VII was the eldest son of Queen Victoria. Victoria, true to the
Hanoverian name, saw the worst in Edward. She and Albert imposed a
strict regime upon Edward, who proved resistant and resentful
throughout his youth. Victoria consistently denied her son any
official governmental role. He rebelled by completely indulging
himself in women, food, drink, gambling, sport and travel. His
wife, Alexandra, turned a blind eye to his extramarital activities,
which continued well into his sixties and found him implicated in
several divorce cases. Despite Edward's colorful personal life and
Victoria's perceptions of him as profligate, Edward ruled
peacefully (aside from the Boer War of 1899-1902) and successfully
during his short reign, which is remarkable considering the shifts
in European power that occurred in the first decade of the
twentieth century.
