UNSUITABLE FOR PUBLICATION: EDITING QUEEN VICTORIA
Book ID/图书代码： 01899513B63615
English Summary/英文概要： When Queen Victoria died in 1901, two literary gentlemen took on a monumental task: selecting and editing her vast correspondence. The book they produced would influence perceptions of Victoria for generations to come – but it was not the full story.
The Queen’s two editors, Baron Esher and Arthur Benson, were deeply eccentric men. Both graduates of Eton, they moved in a world of gentlemen’s clubs, passionate male relationships and hidden political networks. Together, they would decide how the Queen was remembered.
Based on unprecedented access to the original archives, UNSUITABLE FOR PUBLICATION reveals how key aspects of Victoria’s life were deemed unfit for public consumption: her experience of motherhood, her struggle to combine the roles of ruler and wife, and her intimate friendships with other royal European women.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 维多利亚女王于1901年去世，两位文学绅士因此担负了项艰巨的任务，从女王一生所有的功过中选择一些并写成传记。这本书将影响世世代代的人对女王的看法。
这两位绅士，伊舍和本森公爵都是极其古怪的人，均毕业于伊顿公学。他们的世界里都是衣冠楚楚的绅士，关系亲密的男性友人，远离政治的乌托邦。现在，他们掌握了将维多利亚女王在世人面前描绘成何等模样的权利。
《公众所不知道的维多利亚女王》是基于未曾公诸于众的原始档案创作的，有些秘密可能会使公众难以接受，例如她是位怎么样的母亲，她对遵守规则和为人妻是如何得抗拒，以及她与其他欧洲贵族女性的亲密友谊。(XAT)
