It is interesting to know that there were image makers even back then.  Unfortunately, it sometimes takes a long time to undo the filtered information.

    An intersting take on  the creation of Queen Victoria's image
  

*by T***. on Reviewed in the United States on April 27, 2014*

Yvonne M. Ward took an interesting feminist view of how the public image of Queen Victoria was managed by the two men who edited the first three volumes of her letters.  Both of them venerated the elderly queen, but were completely out of sync with the lively, interesting young queen who would have been revealed in those letters if they had used different other selection criteria in their choice of which ones to include, and even more importantly, which ones to exclude.  I have read all nine volumes of the letters of Queen Victoria's letters and I think that Ms. Ward got it exactly right--there is a sameness and an old-lady quality to the collection, from the first ones written when she was in her teens, all the way up to her old age.  How she describes the process of encasing that fun-loving young woman in a personality created by the editors of the first three volumes, covering from 1837 to Prince Albert's death in 1861, is fascinating thing to read.  I hope that she will continue her analysis with the remaining six volumes.

### ⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Three Stars
  

*by B***R on Reviewed in the United States on July 28, 2017*

This book seemed to be more about the two gentlemen who edited Victoria's life than about Victoria.
