Although there have been numerous biographies of Queen Victoria, this one is distinguished both by its relative brevity and by the incorporation of recent research on often neglected aspects of her life and reign - including her religious views, her involvement with Britain's army, her political initiatives and her connections with Ireland. Walter L. Arnstein is concerned not only with her private life, as revealed in her journals and letters, but also with her public role. His book provides enough economic, social, cultural and political background knowledge to make her life intelligible even to readers unfamiliar with her now distant world, and the many illustrations add another welcome dimension.
