Albert is dead and the queen is preparing to spend the rest of her life in mourning. Yet the last years of her reign are to be momentous ones. Palmerston, then Gladstone and Disraeli, govern her empire through the high noon of its heyday. However, the court at Windsor, Balmoral, Osborne or Buckingham Palace is perpetually shocked by the actions of the queen's son, the Prince of Wales. Forever in pursuit of horses, women and scandal, this is the heady harbinger of Edwardian years to come.
After Albert dies, Victoria withdraws into seclusion, struggling to face her royal responsibilities alone as England prepares to enter the 20th century.
Before her marriege, Victoria had relied on the guidance of Lord Melbourne and Uncle Leopold; these were replaced by her beloved husband Albert to whom she became totally devoted. After his death she found herself desperately alone to meet the demands of raising a large, turbulent family and dealing with the affairs of state. The prospect seemed too much to face and she reacted by going into morbid seclusion in a state of perpetual mourning.
The Merry Wives of Windsor by William Shakespeare Pdf
The Merry Wives of Windsor, Shakespeare's only thoroughly English comedy, created an archetypal literary figure in the shape of the devious, irrepressible John Falstaff. This stimulating new edition celebrates the play as a joyous exploration of language, but also places elements of its plot firmly in a continental, specifically Italian, tradition of romantic comedy. It draws out the complexities of Merry Wives as a multi-plot play, and takes a fresh and challenging look at both textual and dating issues; a facsimile of the first Quarto is included as an appendix. The play's extensive performance history, both dramatic and operatic, is fully explored and discussed. This is a significant and substantive edition, in that nothing has been taken for granted, everything has been opened to reconsideration. The commentary is exceptionally detailed and attentive to questions of language and meaning. John Jowett, Shakespeare Institute, University of Birmingham, Shakespeare Quarterly
