Walter Arnstein's Queen Victoria is one of the most readable books on the queen. I have read it three times and I have never gotten enough of it. It is a simple presentation of the queen's life and her long reign as a British soveriegn. It touches on the subjects of the Crimean war and the queen as the sovereign of India in the 1800s. The segment on the queen's growning up years is very good specially her trips to the factories of England where she knew that children were working in these. Prof. Arnstein's careful handling of the subject and excellent research as seen in his bibliography, makes this book an authority on the subject!! I recommend this to Queen Victoria, British monarchs fans and general readers as well!!! geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

In this engaging study, Walter L. Arnstein explores both the private life and the public role of the young princess who inherited Britain's throne as a teenager and who became the octogenarian symbolic head of the largest empire in the history of the world. Arnstein incorporates the findings of past studies and recent research (including articles of his own based on previously unpublished letters and journals) to shed light on often-neglected aspects of Victoria's life and reign: her concern with gender roles, religion, politics, and Ireland; as well as her involvement with both the controversial domestic issues and the great international conflicts of the era. Wherever the historical evidence allows, Arnstein enables the monarch to speak in her own words, demonstrating that Victoria was not only the queen who became an adjective, but also a highly-quotable, multi-dimensional human being. Concise, authoritative and attractively illustrated, Queen Victoria provides the economic, social, cultural and political background knowledge to make the life of this fascinating monarch intelligible even to readers unfamiliar with her now distant world.
