More than a century ago after her death, Queen Victoria retains a strong grip on biographers—, academics—, and the public—s imagination. The intention of the authors in this biography is to ensure that Victoria herself was never swamped by the events in which she played a part, and to present an account of her developing personality alongside the developing role of constitutional monarchy under her reign. Victoria left huge quantities of written records, many of which have been published. It seemed important to let Victoria—s own voice be heard in the biography, and the text draws extensively from her own writings
