The Personal Life of Queen Victoria

The Personal Life of Queen Victoria

â€œThe Queen of England, the Empress of India, the Woman of the world.â€

In The Personal Life of Queen Victoria Sarah A Tooley narrates the intimate events in the monarchâ€™s life in order to reveal the personal history and character of the Queen.

First published in 1897 to coincide with Queen Victoriaâ€™s Diamond Jubilee, Tooley illustrates the woman behind the crown and empire.

The writer moves seamlessly through the Queenâ€™s life from her lonely childhood, to her intrepid early years as an unmarried queen, through the heady days of betrothal, the loving years of marriage and finally to her heart-wrenching life as a widow.

Her home and court life are explored with anecdotes from those close to the Queen, creating a rare glimpse into the monarchâ€™s personal tastes and characteristics.

â€œThe volume should meet the wishes of a large public in these days of diamond jubilees.â€ â€” Times.

â€œThe writer has been at great pains to collect her material, some of which is from new sources, and she has utilised the information to good purpose. Her style, which is clear and flowing, renders her book easy reading.â€ â€” Globe.

â€œAltogether a very attractive personal biography.â€ â€” Pall Mall Gazette.

â€œMrs. Tooley, in addition to the ordinary sources of information, has been favoured with many special anecdotes and particulars of incidents in the Queenâ€™s career. This gives her book a distinct value. It is very pleasantly written.â€ â€” Westminster Gazette.

â€œIn dealing with the personal side of the Queenâ€™s life, as distinct from that aspect of it which has to do with Her Majestyâ€™s public career, Mrs. Tooley has been enabled, apparently by persons moving in Court circles, to add largely to the store of pleasant anecdotes and incidents.â€ â€” Scotsman.

â€œWritten with fine taste and delicate reserve, the biography presents the Queen in such a manner as to enhance the affection with which all her subjects regard her..â€ â€” Independent.

â€œAn important addition to the many biographies that have been written about Her Majesty â€¦ Mrs. Tooley has accomplished her task in a manner which holds the readerâ€™s attention from beginning to end.â€ â€” Queen.
