[Gutenberg 1265] • Queen Victoria 1

A detailed biography of the life and reign of Queen Victoria of England by Lytton Strachey was written in 1921. Here we see Victoria as a child, a monarch, a wife, a mother and a widow. Strachey also gives insights into the political arena with depictions of her relationships: with her governess “precious Lehzen,” with Peel, Gladstone, and Disraeli, with her beloved Albert, and, in later life, her legendary devotion to her Highland servant John Brown.
