Beschreibung
"Queen Victoria" is a biography written by Lytton Strachey, an English writer and critic. The book offers an insightful and unconventional portrayal of Queen Victoria, one of the most influential monarchs in British history. Lytton Strachey's biography stands out for its departure from traditional hagiographic accounts of Victoria's life. Rather than presenting a romanticized and idealized version of the Queen, Strachey takes a more critical and analytical approach, delving into her personality, relationships, and impact on the British monarchy and society. The book explores various aspects of Victoria's life, including her childhood, her ascension to the throne at a young age, and her extensive reign, which lasted for over six decades. Strachey delves into Victoria's complex personal relationships, particularly her intense connection with Prince Albert and her interactions with her children. Strachey also highlights Victoria's political role and her influence on the changing dynamics of the British Empire. He examines her relationship with her prime ministers and her views on key events and policies, such as the Indian Mutiny, the Boer War, and the expansion of the British Empire.
