Good biography for those mostly interested in the personal rather than larger historical context
Queen Victoria A Personal History by Christopher Hibbert
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
This is subtitled “A Personal History,” and that is a fair description. If you are looking for a biography that includes the political, sociological, diplomatic, and military contexts in any detail, this book will be a disappointment. If you are most interested in the family and other relationships, the happenings of court dinners, and wardrobes and such, this is the biography for you.
