Queen Victoria
By:Giles St Aubyn
Published on 2011-03 by Faber & Faber

'Excellent and deserves to be widely read ... Fluent, accomplished, pleasantly written, lit by flashes of wit.' |The Sunday Times| || ||Described by her contemporary Charles Greville as 'the most interesting mind and character in the world', Queen Victoria remains a fascinating, often contradictory figure. Giles St Aubyn's masterly and critically acclaimed biography is above all a study of her personality, focusing on her family life, her relations with Ministers and servants, her tastes, beliefs and character traits, to give a fresh understanding of a remarkable woman and a great monarch. 'Long, thorough and penetrating ... a wise, witty, insightful, detached perspective on the whole period ...as much a triumph of organisation as it is of erudition.' |Financial Times| || 'A meticulously accurate biographer ... those who are already experts on Queen Victoria will still find much in this book to interest them.' |The Times| || ||'Passes the three tests all biographies have to meet: it is well-written, scholarly, and it is psychologically penetrating.' |Glasgow Herald|
