Trade paperback (US). Glued binding. 336 p. Contains: Illustrations. Harvest/HBJ Book. Audience: General/trade. Queen Victoria: The Definitive Biography of England's Famous Ruler (A Harvest / HBJ Book) (SOFTCOVER CONDITION GOOD-COPYRIGHT 1978-434 PAGES) by Lytton Strachey (Author) Book Review; Giles Lytton Strachey was an early 20th century writer and biographer who developed a reputation for writing biographies that dealt with individuals as people, rather than the events they were associated with. His 1921 biography of the British monarch, Queen Victoria, is a highly readable insight into this long-reigning queen. Many public domain books can be slow to read, with language that is sometimes archaic when compared to contemporary writing. This is not the case with Strachey's work. Not only does it thoroughly cover Victoria's life from childhood to death, but it is an engaging read that explores Victoria's relationships, both personal and professional. I particularly liked reading of the love between Victoria and her husband, Albert, much of which is detailed in Victoria's journals and letters. I also enjoyed Strachey's turn of phrase and his ability to create such effective word-pictures of this fascinating monarch and her life. If you have any interest in history or curiosity about British monarchs I think you will enjoy this book.
Synopsis
This is the definitive biography of Britain’s greatest monarch, who “was hailed at once as the mother of her people and as the embodied symbol of their imperial greatness.” “One of the surpassingly beautiful prose achievements of our time” (Chicago Daily News). Index; illustrations.
