What would you do if you had three weeks to live?Get drunk? Have sex? Make amends with your estranged family?18 Victoria is the story of three siblings grappling to piece together their broken relationship against a very real deadline: a huge meteor, 18 Victoria, is about to crash into Earth and no one will survive.As they come to terms with family trauma and their impending deaths, the characters confide in the audience, prompting them to question their own values and behaviour.Like many families, this one contains secrets, including one that threatens to tear them apart. Can they trust each other enough to make amends before it's too late?18 Victoria has been specially adapted by Huddersfield-based Root & Branch from an original script by American playwright Cody Daigle-Orians to be set in the North of England.It received its European premiere at the Lawrence Batley Theatre in Huddersfield in April 2018 before playing as part of the Greater Manchester Fringe in July, where it won the Write For The Stage Award and was nominated for Best Drama."18 Victoria is an emotionally demanding play but certainly rewards any audience prepared to take the journey." Manchester Theatre Awards"An astonishing piece of theatre...it deserves to be seen by as wide an audience as possible." Number 9 Reviews

Queen Victoria and Her Prime Ministers: Her Life, the Imperial Ideal, and the Politics and Turmoil That Shaped Her Extraordinary Reign

Queen Victoria and Her Prime Ministers: Her Life, the Imperial Ideal, and the Politics and Turmoil That Shaped Her Extraordinary Reign

Anne Somerset

sidottu
A riveting portrait of Queen Victoria and the ten prime ministers who headed British government during her sixty-three-year reign It is generally accepted that Queen Victoria reigned but did not rule. This couldn't be more wrong. A passionate and opinionated leader, Victoria was born to govern with no room for doubt about her historic destiny or the might of the empire that was built in her name. When it came to her involvement in state affairs, Victoria herself acknowledged that she had held strong "likes and dislikes" for the various prime ministers who served throughout her political evolution from headstrong teenager to seasoned leader. Anne Somerset's Queen Victoria and Her Prime Ministers charts the feuds and affectionate interactions Victoria had with her ten premiers in often hilarious detail, from her adoration of Benjamin Disraeli, her favorite prime minister who filled her life with "poetry, romance, and chivalry," to her detestation for William Gladstone, a man she deemed a "dangerous old fanatic." Drawing extensively on unpublished sources such as material from the Royal Archives and never-before-seen prime ministerial papers, Somerset casts a fresh and highly illuminating perspective not just on Victoria, but on the exceptional politicians who served her in a time of massive global change.

This nine-volume selection from the letters of Queen Victoria, with ancillary material, was commissioned by her son, Edward VII, and published between 1907 and 1932, with a gap of almost twenty years between the third and fourth volumes. The editors of the first three volumes, the poet and writer A. C. Benson (1862–1925) and the second Viscount Esher (1852–1930), administrator and courtier, decided that the plan for the selection of letters from the thousands available should be to publish 'such documents as would serve to bring out the development of the Queen's character and disposition, and to give typical instances of her methods in dealing with political and social matters'. Volume 1 contains introductory chapters about the Queen's early life, and letters to and from the young princess, continuing through her accession, coronation, courtship and marriage, and ending in 1843.

The editor of the 'Second Series', which covers the years from 1862 to 1885, was George Earle Buckle (1854–1935), a historian and former editor of The Times, who continued the editorial policy of his predecessors, but who needed to tread carefully, as many of the people mentioned in documents of the second part of Queen Victoria's reign were still alive when Volumes 4–6 were published between 1926 and 1928. Volume 4, dealing with 1862–9, begins with the period of mourning after Prince Albert's death, and includes the marriage of the Prince of Wales, and the death of the Queen's uncle and mentor, Leopold I of Belgium.

Queen Victoria's Wars

Cambridge University Press

sidottu
This is a new history of Britain's imperial wars during the nineteenth century. Including chapters on wars fought in the hills, on the veldt, in the dense forests, and along the coast, it discusses wars waged in China, Burma, Afghanistan, and India/Pakistan; New Zealand; and, West, East, and South Africa. Leading military historians from around the world situate the individual conflict in the larger context of British domestic history and British foreign policy/grand strategy and examine the background of the conflict, the war aims, the outbreak of the war, the forces and technology employed, a narrative of the war, details about one specific battle, and the aftermath of the war. Beginning with the Indian Rebellion and ending with the South African War, it enables readers to see the global impact of British imperialism, the function of the army in the service of British political goals, and the evolution of military technology.
