Klappentext Publication of this paperback edition of the study of Queen Victoria's early life and accession to the throne has been brought forward to coincide with the UK film release of "The Young Victoria", produced by Martin Scorcese, written by Julian Fellowes and starring Emily Blunt (6th March). Zusammenfassung Our perception of Victoria the Queen is coloured by portraits of her older, widowed self - her dour expression embodying the repressive morality propagated in her time.
