About this audiobook
This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.
Strachey's "Queen Victoria" delves into the life and reign of the iconic British monarch. It begins with her unexpected rise to power and explores her childhood heavily influenced by her controlling mother. The narrative details her relationship with Prince Albert, emphasizing his strong influence on her and the nation, and delves into their domestic life and his untimely death.
Strachey paints a complex portrait, portraying both Victoria's strong leadership and her moments of grief and stubbornness. He sheds light on her evolving public image, from a youthful symbol of hope to a revered "Empress of India," while subtly critiquing the rigid Victorian societal norms she embodied.
Within a short work, Strachey offers a window into the life and legacy of a woman who shaped a vast empire and continues to hold a significant place in British history, with insights both into her personal struggles and her public triumphs.
