August 29, 2010 - 11:08 amStrachey’s book was published orginally in 1921 and was a pivotal biography according to Linda Wagner-Martin in “Telling Women’s Lives – The New Biography”. This book broke away from tradition and provided a deeper look at the Queen and all those around her by abandoning the notion of promoting a person’s successess and strengths and instead paints the portrait of a human with weaknesses, motivations, strengths, and stuggles. The reader sees the Queen in relationships that become history and see the impact of personality in making decisions.
The book is engaging especially once Victoria moves beyond childhood and becomes Queen. The portrait of Edward and Victoria’s relationship is vivid. The story provides a rich understanding of places in the lives of the royal family that continue today, namely Balmoral, and give a glimpse at the royal family culture that can be seen in current events. It is more than a book about Queen Victoria.
Enjoy!
