On November 6, 1817, died the Princess Charlotte, only child of the Prince Regent, and heir to the crown of England. Her short life had hardly been a happy one. By nature impulsive, capricious, and vehement, she had always longed for liberty; and she had never possessed it. She had been brought up among violent family quarrels, had been early separated from her disreputable and eccentric mother, and handed over to the care of her disreputable and selfish father. When she was seventeen, he decided to marry her off to the Prince of Orange; she, at first, acquiesced; but, suddenly falling in love with Prince Augustus of Prussia, she determined to break off the engagement. This was not her first love affair, for she had previously carried on a clandestine correspondence with a Captain Hess. Prince Augustus was already married, morganatically, but she did not know it, and he did not tell her. While she was spinning out the negotiations with the Prince of Orange, the allied sovereigns—it was June, 1814—arrived in London to celebrate their victory. Among them, in the suite of the Emperor of Russia, was the young and handsome Prince Leopold of Saxe-Coburg. He made several attempts to attract the notice of the Princess, but she, with her heart elsewhere, paid very little attention. Next month the Prince Regent, discovering that his daughter was having secret meetings with Prince Augustus, suddenly appeared upon the scene and, after dismissing her household, sentenced her to a strict seclusion in Windsor Park. 'God Almighty grant me patience!' she exclaimed, falling on her knees in an agony of agitation: then she jumped up, ran down the backstairs and out into the street, hailed a passing cab, and drove to her mother's house in Bayswater. She was discovered, pursued, and at length, yielding to the persuasions of her uncles, the Dukes of York and Sussex, of Brougham, and of the Bishop of Salisbury, she returned to Carlton House at two o'clock in the morning. She was immured at Windsor, but no more was heard of the Prince of Orange. Prince Augustus, too, disappeared. The way was at last open to Prince Leopold of Saxe-Coburg.

Adéntrate en el cautivador mundo de la Reina Victoria, una monarca cuyo reinado definió toda una era: la era victoriana. Desde su ascensión al trono el 20 de junio de 1837 hasta su fallecimiento el 22 de enero de 1901, los 63 años y 216 días de gobierno de Victoria superaron a los de cualquiera de sus predecesores. Este período fue testigo de transformaciones industriales, políticas, científicas y militares sin precedentes en el Reino Unido, acompañadas por la vasta expansión del Imperio Británico. En 1876, el Parlamento le otorgó el título adicional de Emperatriz de la India, reflejando el alcance global de su influencia. Nacida en 1819, hija del príncipe Eduardo, duque de Kent, y la princesa Victoria de Sajonia-Coburgo-Saalfeld, el camino de Victoria hacia el trono estuvo marcado por tragedias familiares. Como monarca constitucional, navegó el delicado equilibrio entre intentos privados de influir en la política gubernamental y su representación pública como un ícono nacional conocido por su estricta moral personal. Su matrimonio con su primo, el príncipe Alberto, en 1840, produjo una dinastía que se entrelazó con familias reales y nobles de toda Europa, ganándole el apodo de 'abuela de Europa'. Tras la muerte de Alberto en 1861, Victoria enfrentó un profundo luto, contribuyendo a un aumento temporal del republicanismo británico. Sin embargo, en la última parte de su reinado, recuperó popularidad. Sus jubileos de Oro y Diamante fueron momentos de celebración nacional. Este retrato perspicaz profundiza en la vida de la Reina Victoria, explorando sus luchas personales, su influencia política y su legado perdurable hasta su apacible fallecimiento en Osborne House en la Isla de Wight en 1901, a la edad de 81 años. Como la última monarca británica de la Casa de Hannover, la sucedió su hijo Eduardo VII de la Casa de Sajonia-Coburgo y Gotha, marcando el fin de una era ilustre.

Entrusted by His Majesty the King with the duty of making a selection from Queen Victoria's correspondence, we think it well to describe briefly the nature of the documents which we have been privileged to examine, as well as to indicate the principles which have guided us throughout. It has been a task of no ordinary difficulty. Her Majesty Queen Victoria dealt with her papers, from the first, in a most methodical manner; she formed the habit in early days of preserving her private letters, and after her accession to the Throne all her official papers were similarly treated, and bound in volumes. The Prince Consort instituted an elaborate system of classification, annotating and even indexing many of the documents with his own hand. The result is that the collected papers form what is probably the most extraordinary series of State documents in the world. The papers which deal with the Queen's life up to the year 1861 have been bound in chronological order, and comprise between five and six hundred volumes. They consist, in great part, of letters from Ministers detailing the proceedings of Parliament, and of various political memoranda dealing with home, foreign, and colonial policy; among these are a few drafts of Her Majesty's replies. There are volumes concerned with the affairs of almost every European country; with the history of India, the British Army, the Civil List, the Royal Estates, and all the complicated machinery of the Monarchy and the Constitution. There are letters from monarchs and royal personages, and there is further a whole series of volumes dealing with matters in which the Prince Consort took a special interest. Some of them are arranged chronologically, some by subjects. Among the most interesting volumes are those containing the letters written by Her Majesty to her uncle Leopold, King of the Belgians, and his replies.1 The collection of letters from and to Lord Melbourne forms another hardly less interesting series. In many places Queen Victoria caused extracts, copied from her own private Diaries, dealing with important political events or describing momentous interviews, to be inserted in the volumes, with the evident intention of illustrating and completing the record.

No other biography of Queen Victoria gives as delightful and comprehensive an account of the reign of Queen Victoria, who, in 1837, was crowned Queen of Britain at age eighteen and went on to rule until her death in 1901. Lytton Strachey, in his inimitable way, provides the full and unbounded panorama of Victoria's life-including her childhood, her marriage to her beloved Albert, and her relations with heads of state, prime ministers, and other members of her colorful court circle.
