Product Description
The Lady
"... fresh look at one of our most successful and popular rulers."
Review
... fascinating new book ... Plunkett has given us an extensively researched, carefully argued and eminently readable study. (Social History Society Bulletin )
The book offers surprises and delights: surprise that there is anything new to be said about Queen Victoria and her image, and delight in the fresh, wide-ranging and solid research. (History )
... attractively and usefully illustrated. (History )
... a truly splendid book that offers much to the reader interested in nineteenth-century print culture, the monarchy, or media studies. (History )
The documentary side of the book is immensely impressive: Plunkett has done work for which other Victorian scholars will be permanently grateful ... We are made vividly aware of the complex, dynamic relation between social and technological change, and Plunkett's concentration on the monarchy gives the account a clarity and focus which more broadly based studies of Victorian "progress" often lack. (Daniel Karlin, Times Literary Supplement )
It is the book's range, thoroughness and grasp of exemplary detail which are its real strengths. It is superbly illustrated, and Plunketts scholarship is, as its best, an illustrative rather than an analytic tool. (Daniel Karlin, Times Literary Supplement )
... a fascinating book. (Matthew Engel, The Guardian, )
... highly illustrated survey of the way the monarch was reported, the way she was photographed and her position in civic consciousness throughout her long reign. (History Today )
