Queen Victoria's Lovers

Autor Fred Vermorel
en Limba Engleză Paperback
The young Queen Victoria was a potent sex symbol, attracting outlandish fantasists. She also attracted stalkers and other unwanted attention seekers. The Victorian Press sardonically dubbed such people "Victoria's lovers." Victorian psychiatrists labelled them, "erotomaniacs." Drawing on original and untapped sources this book tells their unexpurgated stories. It includes the tale of Captain Jonathan Childe of the Royal Horse Guards, who bombarded Victoria with outrageously pornographic love letters. These letters "greatly annoyed" Prince Albert and led to frantic meetings at the highest levels of the British state. They are published here for the first time. The book also compares Victoria's Lovers to the modern cult of Diana-mania.
