Story0
A remarkably fresh and engaging account of Britain’s long-reigning monarch, Queen Victoria, who ascended to the throne at 18, in 1837, and died in 1901. Lytton Strachey captures her essential spirit in concise and elegant prose, with an eye and an ear keenly attuned to human nature, and its foibles.

Lytton Strachey’s groundbreaking work, Eminent Victorians (1918), captivated readers with its sharp wit and insightful exploration of Victorian figures. In this compelling follow-up, Queen Victoria (1921), he delves deeper into the life of one of historys most iconic monarchs, revealing the complexities and contradictions that defined her reign. Strachey masterfully balances humor and critique, shedding light on the pervasive hypocrisy of Victorian morality while humanizing his subjects. (Summary from Wikipedia)

Story0
Between King Cotton and Queen Victoria recenters our understanding of the Civil War by framing it as a hemispheric affair, deeply influenced by the actions of a network of private parties and minor officials in the Confederacy and British territory in and around North America. John Wilkes Booth likely would not have been in a position to assassinate Abraham Lincoln, for example, without the logistical support and assistance of the pro-Confederate network in Canada.
