Queen of Great Britain and of an empire on which the sun didn't set, Victoria gave her name to an age that came to represent progress, expansion and industrialisation. She ruled for an unprecedented sixty-four years, coming to the throne in 1837 at the tender age of nineteen and dying in 1901.
Published to coincide with the centenary of Queen Victoria's death, this book looks at every aspect of this remarkable era including politics, art, science and society. Deborah Jaffe has written an illuminating and incisive overview of Victoria's life and reign, looking at why, a century after her death, her influence still endures.
Illustrated with two hundred sumptuous images, this is a fascinating tribute to one of the greatest British monarchs.
