Queen Victoria:

Dennison, Matthew

Queen Victoria: a life of contradictions - William Collins 2013 - xiv, 189 pages, 8 unnumbered pages of plates

Queen Victoria is Britain's queen of contradictions. In her combination of deep sentimentality and bombast; cultural imperialism and imperial compassion; fear of intellectualism and excitement at technology; romanticism and prudishness, she became a spirit of the age to which she gave her name. This is a compelling assessment of Victoria's mercurial character and indelible impact.
