The story of the queen who defied convention and defined an era
A passionate princess, an astute and clever queen, and a cunning widow, Victoria played many roles throughout her life. In Queen Victoria: Twenty-Four Days That Changed Her Life, Lucy Worsley introduces her as a woman leading a truly extraordinary life in a unique time period. Queen Victoria simultaneously managed to define a socially conservative vision of Victorian womanhood, while also defying its conventions. Beneath her exterior image of traditional daughter, wife, and widow, she was a strong-willed and masterful politician.
Drawing from the vast collection of Victoria’s correspondence and the rich documentation of her life, Worsley recreates twenty-four of the most important days in Victoria's life. Each day gives a glimpse into the identity of this powerful, difficult queen and the contradictions that defined her. Queen Victoria is an intimate introduction to one of Britain’s most iconic rulers as a wife and widow, mother and matriarch, and above all, a woman of her time.

罗马，在那里他结识了一个严ポ的德国関子，其中有古物收藏家、考古学家和艺术家，这些人将会培养他的趣味'陪他同游的是利奥波德叔叔的属下斯托克马男爵和一个年轻的英国军官，后者的职责是让阿尔伯特的英语说得像英国人一样地道流利（不过他没有完全实现这一目标）。阿尔伯特非常勤奋。他告诉自己的老师：“每天清晨5点钟，我在小小的学生台灯旁坐下。””他觉得自“形成正确判断的能力”因为这些旅行而大大提升了。他最喜欢做的事情是完成一篇探讨抽象话题的论文，比如国人的思维方式”、“就算生活中存在和种纷扰”，他也会坚持完成这样的工程。
