"Queen Victoria" by Lytton Strachey, is a biographical work that presents a critical and psychological portrait of Queen Victoria, the long-reigning British monarch who ruled from 1837 until her death in 1901. Strachey, known for his innovative approach to biography, uses a style that blends narrative with a critical examination of the character and personal life of Queen Victoria. He presents her not merely as a historical figure but as a complex, deeply human individual whose personality and experiences shaped the course of British history.
