Part One Of Two Parts This complete biography of England's Queen Victoria from the dramatic prelude to her birth in 1819 to her death in the first month of the twentieth century provides new details and illuminates her life as never before. High drama is everywhere. Fatherless at eight months, ignored at first by her royal uncles, kept virtually under house arrest by her mother's confidant, Victoria survived rivals, plots and intimidation. Tragedy and disaster stalked her constantly - deaths of loved ones, rumors of treason, later allegations about a Scottish lover, and near fatal illness. She also escaped seven assassination attempts. Victoria, with all her complexities and stubborn vitality, never leaves the center of her vast stage as she becomes the dominant figure of her time.
