The story of the queen who defied convention and defined an era A passionate princess, an astute and clever queen, and a cunning widow, Victoria played many roles throughout her life. In Queen Victoria: Twenty-Four Days That Changed Her Life, Lucy Worsley introduces her as a woman leading a truly extraordinary life in a unique time period. Queen Victoria simultaneously managed to define a socially conservative vision of Victorian womanhood, while also defying its conventions. Beneath her exterior image of traditional daughter, wife, and widow, she was a strong-willed and masterful politician. Drawing from the vast collection of Victoria’s correspondence and the rich documentation of her life, Worsley recreates twenty-four of the most important days in Victoria's life. Each day gives a glimpse into the identity of this powerful, difficult queen and the contradictions that defined her. Queen Victoria is an intimate introduction to one of Britain’s most iconic rulers as a wife and widow, mother and matriarch, and above all, a woman of her time.

"Life of Her Most Gracious Majesty the Queen" in 2 volumes is a biographical account of the British Queen Victoria written by the Scottish novelist Sarah Tytler. Victoria (1819-1901) was Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland from 1837 until her death. She adopted the additional title of Empress of India in 1876. Known as the Victorian era, her reign of 63 years and seven months was longer than that of any of her predecessors. It was a period of industrial, cultural, political, scientific, and military change within the United Kingdom, and was marked by a great expansion of the British Empire._x000D_ Volume 1:_x000D_ Sixty-three Years Since_x000D_ Childhood_x000D_ Youth_x000D_ The Accession_x000D_ The Proroguing of Parliament, the Visit to Guildhall, and the Coronation_x000D_ The Maiden Queen_x000D_ The Betrothal_x000D_ The Marriage_x000D_ A Royal Pair_x000D_ Royal Occupations – An Attempt on the Queen's Life_x000D_ The First Christening – The Season of 1841_x000D_ Birth of the Prince of Wales – The Afghan Disasters – Visit of the King of Prussia – The Queen's Plantagenet Ball_x000D_ Fresh Attempts against the Queen's Life – Mendelssohn – Death of the Duc D'orleans_x000D_ The Queen's First Visit to Scotland_x000D_ A Marriage, a Death, and a Birth in the Royal Family…_x000D_ Volume 2:_x000D_ Royal Progresses to Burghley, Stowe, and Strathfieldsaye_x000D_ The Queen's Powder Ball_x000D_ The Queen's First Visit to Germany_x000D_ Railway Speculation – Failure of the Potato Crop – Sir Robert Peel's Resolutions – Birth of Princess Helena – Visit of Ibrahim Pasha_x000D_ Autumn Yachting Excursions – The Spanish Marriages – Winter Visits_x000D_ Installation of Prince Albert as Chancellor of Cambridge_x000D_ The Queen's Visit to the Western Islands of Scotland and Stay at Ardverikie_x000D_ The French Fugitives – The People's Charter_x000D_ The Queen's First Stay at Balmoral_x000D_ Public and Domestic Interests – Fresh Attack upon the Queen_x000D_ The Queen's First Visit to Ireland_x000D_ Scotland Again – Glasgow and Dee-side_x000D_ The Opening of the New Coal Exchange – The Death of Queen Adelaide_x000D_ Preparation for the Exhibition – Birth of the Duke of Connaught…

It seems to me that the life of Queen Victoria cannot well be told without a prefacing sketch of her cousin, the Princess Charlotte, who, had she lived, would have been her Queen, and who was in many respects her prototype. It is certain, I think, that Charlotte Augusta of Wales, that lovely miracle-flower of a loveless marriage, blooming into a noble and gracious womanhood, amid the petty strifes and disgraceful intrigues of a corrupt Court, by her virtues and graces, by her high spirit and frank and fearless character, prepared the way in the loyal hearts of the British people, for the fair young kinswoman, who, twenty-one years after her own sad death, reigned in her stead. Through all the bright life of the Princess Charlotte - from her beautiful childhood to her no less beautiful maturity - the English people had regarded her proudly and lovingly as their sovereign, who was to be; they had patience with the melancholy madness of the poor old King, her grandfather, and with the scandalous irregularities of the Prince Regent, her father, in looking forward to happier and better things under a good woman's reign; and after all those fair hopes had been coffined with her, and buried in darkness and silence, their hearts naturally turned to the royal little girl, who might possibly fill the place left so drearily vacant. England had always been happy and prosperous under Queens, and a Queen, please God, they would yet have.
