‘A crisp, sparkling account of the
extraordinary woman whose reign was as
long as her legacy is vast’
Stacy Schiff
FIFTH in line to the throne at the time of her birth, Victoria was an
ordinary woman thrust into an extraordinary role. As a girl, she defied her
mother’s meddling and an adviser’s bullying, forging an iron will of her own.
As a teenage queen, she eagerly grasped the crown and relished the freedom it
brought her. At twenty years old, she fell passionately in love with Prince Albert
of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha and married him, eventually giving birth to nine
children. She loved sex and delighted in power. She was outspoken with her
ministers, overstepping boundaries and asserting her opinions. After the death
of her adored Albert, she began a controversial, intimate relationship with her
t
servant John Brown. She survived eight assassination attempts over the course
of her lifetime. And as science, technology and democracy were dramatically
reshaping the world, Victoria was a symbol of steadfastness and security - queen
of a quarter of the world’s population at the height of the British Empire’s reach.
Julia Baird brings vividly to life the fascinating story of a woman who struggled
with so many of the things we do today: balancing work and family, raising
children, navigating marital strife, losing parents, combating anxiety and
self-doubt, finding an identity, searching for meaning.
_ A
This sweeping, page-turning biography gives us the
real woman behind the myth: a bold, glamorous,
unbreakable queen - a Victoria for our times, a ,
Victoria who endured.
