Förlagets beskrivning
This work tells the love story of the royal couple against the changing
background of 19th-century Germany. It looks at the differing political
sympathies of the couple, revealed through letters, and re-examines the
prevailing view that the domineering Vicky never bothered to conceal her
distaste for everything Prussian and flaunting her sense of British
superiority. In many ways ahead of her time, she was something of a pioneer
feminist, refusing to accept the oft-accepted maxim that women were
second-class citizens. Insufficient consideration has been given to her health
and the possibility that her judgement and reason may sometimes have been
affected, albeit mildly, by the family's inheritance of porphyria that led to
the 'madness' of her great-grandfather George III. This work tells the love story of the royal couple against the changing
background of 19th-century Germany. It looks at the differing political
sympathies of the couple, and re-examines the prevailing view that the
domineering Vicky never bothered to conceal her distaste for everything
Prussian.
