The new lecture on the channel "History Lessons with Tamara Eidelman" is dedicated to Queen Victoria - one of the most famous British sovereigns, and probably one of the most famous women of the 19th century, and perhaps in all of British history. Having become queen at the age of 18, Victoria lived a long and intense life, gave her name to the Victorian era, and determined the lifestyle of several generations. We often perceive her simply as a stern and boring woman, but behind the seemingly primitive "facade" there was a very difficult and complex character. BOOKS: 1. Philip Alexander, Beatrice de L'Aulnoy. Queen Victoria (ZhZL). 2. Lytton Strachey. Queen Victoria. 3. Jeremy Paxman. The Victorians.
