First issued in 1950 under the title "Consort of Taste, " the reappearance of this book is heralded by Sir Nikolaus Pevsner as "right and proper. It was a pioneering study when it came out; now, after general evaluation of matters of Victorian art and architecture has changed so rapidly, it can with confidence be called a classic."The book discusses both strange and familiar aspects of the Early and High Victorian decades, bringing to light such important but little-known figures as: Anna Jameson, G. F. Waagen, Sir Francis Palgrave, William Bell Scott, and Sir Charles and Lady Eastlake. Steegman's major discovery, however, was Elizabeth Eastlake, a regular contributor to the "Quarterly Review" (from which much of the book's material has been taken) and an astute commentator on events of the day. She figures prominently in the book "because she so well typifies that upper middle-class society, living chiefly on earned incomes, which contrived to keep one foot in the intellectual and the other in the fashionable camp, and which did so much to form Victorian culture."In an attempt to establish what was considered good or bad by critical and intelligent minds of the day, and why it was so considered, the book covers the influence of the German Nazarene taste on England; the efforts of Prince Albert to promote historical and literary wall painting and "serious moral art" (the Italian primitives, Cranach, Overbeck, Dyce, and Augustus Egg); the Government Schools of Design; collectors and the "new connoisseurship." "Now," concludes Pevsner, "if on all these enterprises and the Arundel Society prints and the [Great Exhibition] of 1851 and so much else John Steegman tells us are as much as need be known and tells it so well and knowledgeably, it must be remembered that the specialists' books which we now have were all written later." Thus the book remains an original, entertaining, and objective account of taste in the Victorian era.

The Victorian era is unquestionably one of the high points in the history of British art--and the culture of that period was defined, as much as anything, by the artistic tastes of Queen Victoria and her beloved Prince Albert. From Victoria's accession in 1837 to Albert's death in 1861, Buckingham Palace was known as "the headquarters of taste," and in a time when royal patronage was still essential to a successful artistic career, the pair enthusiastically collected paintings, sculpture, jewelry, and furniture from a wide range of British and European artists. Victoria & Albert presents the highlights of that extensive collection through more than four hundred beautifully produced full-color illustrations. In addition to the many artworks, both familiar and little-known, that Victoria and Albert collected, the book also features the monarchs' own creations, from paintings, drawings, and etchings to the loving souvenir albums they assembled to record their travels and commemorate the major events of their lives. Opening a window onto the lives of two people as passionate about art as they were about each other, Victoria & Albert will be a comprehensive resource for scholars of British art and the royal family.

On 10 February 1840 a young Queen formed a union that would define an age. Victoria and Albert charts the passionate relationship of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert, and examines how their loving and forward-thinking union propelled Britain into a golden age of innovation, conquest and social reform. Drawing on diary entries, contemporary letters and memoirs, Bolitho explores how Victoria defied expectations and created a new dawn in which sovereignty and domesticity were unified. While many monarchies across Europe were threatened with revolution, Queen Victoria became a symbol of security for her nation by leading Britain through the advancing industrial age, taxing European wars, and glories of an empire. This sincere account paints a portrait of a concerned mother, a dutiful wife, and a resolute Queen.

The official companion to the second season of the PBS/Masterpiece drama Victoria by award-winning creator and screenwriter Daisy Goodwin. Airing in the Downton Abbey slot on PBS/Masterpiece last January, Victoria captivated millions of viewers, eclipsing Downton's first-season viewership and leaving its audience eager for the series's next season, which will focus on Victoria and Albert's passionate and tempestuous marriage. This official tie-in to the show, by creator and screenwriter Daisy Goodwin, gives a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the show, featuring never-before-seen interviews, photos, diary entries, profiles on all major characters, and sumptuous detail on the costumes and props that bring Victoria and Albert's world to vivid life. Victoria and Albert follows this extraordinary relationship between two very different people—she impulsive, emotional, capricious; he cautious, self-controlled, and logical—whose devotion to each other was unparalleled in royal history. Taking fans deeper into the world of Victoria than ever before, Victoria and Albert: A Royal Love Affair is the ultimate gift for devotees of the show.
