The book infuses new vitality into the reputation of the woman who has long (and wrongly) been associated with the adjective, drawn from her name, that evokes images of primness and overbearing prudery. Here she emerges as a warm, even passionate, personality, and Prince Albert seems the real family prude. More importantly, we are offered a fresh view of Victoria and her early reign that supplants the depictions in earlier lives such as Cecil Woodham-Smith's Queen Victoria, 1819-1861 and Lady Elizabeth Longford's Queen Victoria: Born to Succeed .
