Praise
“Fascinating . . . an exhilaratingly impressive account.” — Daily Telegraph (UK)
“Magnificent, disturbing, and innovative . . . This wonderful book is the result of immense research in ministers’ private papers as well as in the royal and national archives.” —Spectator (UK)
“[Anne Somerset] skillfully unpicks the human dynamic that colored many political decisions, a tale not without resonance today.” —Country Life (UK)
“Impressively well-researched . . . Anne Somerset has found a great deal of new material, which reveals a different Victoria—imperious, emotional, sometimes impossible.” —The Times (UK)
“A moving, meticulous and original explosion of the constitutional myths we’ve inherited.” —Literary Review (UK)
“This book is more than a study of the monarch and her ten Prime Ministers. It offers an overview of international relations in the Victorian Age.” —Church Times (UK)
