An exceptionally bright reprint of the first edition originally published in 1935 by Faber and Faber Ltd. Edith Sitwell's endearing portrait of the young Victoria chronicles her unlikely ascension to the throne: spanning the succession crisis of King George III, her enduring love and marriage to Prince Albert, and her strength and power in a male-dominated world. Sitwell breathes life into the Queen's relationships with her family and her court through weaving in the personal letters and diary entries of the young queen. A rich exploration of Victoria's reign and a social document of Victorian Britain, Victoria of England vividly illustrates the life of the iconic monarch with insight and emotion.



Reprint edition; 8vo, (22.3 x 14.3); 16 black-and-white illustrations, half-title, original typescript receipt loosely inserted; publisher's brown cloth, gilt lettering to spine, unclipped dustjacket, a bright, clean copy; [15], 390pp.
