From The Inside Flap:
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
James unveils a man of strong feelings - whose marriage to the Queen was one of deep love and devotion though also of many frustrations; whose relationship with their children remained distant and troubles; who was badly shaken by the uproar over an affain between the young Prince of Wales (the future Edward VII) and Nellie Clifden, an actress. And James examines Albert's sudden and enigmatic surrender to illness when, at the age of forty-two and at the height of his success, the Prince Consort lost the will to continue living. Vividly evoking and clarifying the personalities and events of the Victorian era, and based on new material made available through James' special access to the British Royal Archives, this biography stands out as the fullest, most dramatic and most accurate portrait of Prince Albert ever published. A fascinating historical figure is here restored to us.
