Victoria ruled at the head of a government with which she was meant to converse, debate, and ultimately guide, and it was a job she sometimes struggled to perform. Victoria described herself as an emotional creature and blamed her gender for what she believed were her shortcomings as a monarch.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe queen suffered emotionally during her childhood and also in the early part of her rule, but despite a few dramatic scandals at court, Victoria came to be loved and respected by the majority of her subjects across the vast British Empire. An unprecedented number of important social and economic changes occurred during Victoria's 63-year reign, and that span of time has come to signify Britain's coming of age into modern history. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne of the most important changes experienced by Great Britain between 1837 and 1901 was the population explosion. When Victoria was crowned, there were about 13.9 million Britons; by the time she died, there were an estimated 32.5 million. The sharp increase has been related to modernized methods of medical treatment, sanitation, and social welfare, but each of those industries was far from perfection during the 19th century. Nevertheless, the birth rate increased and the mortality rate fell. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eThe Victorian Era: A Captivating Guide to the Life of Queen Victoria and an Era in the History of the United Kingdom Known for Its Hierarchy-Based Social Order\u003c\/em\u003e, you will discover topics such as\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eAn Unexpected Heiress\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe Accession\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eA Palace, A Groom, and Two Scandals\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eRats, Fleas, and Other Victorian Pests\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe Cholera Epidemic of 1846-1860\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe Sanitation Revolution\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eA Queen in Mourning\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAnatomy, Medicine, and the Body Snatchers\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFrankenstein, Horror, and Science Fiction\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eEgyptomania, Scientific Racism, and the Suez Canal\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCults and the Church of England\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eA Letter from China\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe Industrial Revolution\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eHomelessness and Poverty\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eVictorian Spirits and Spirituality\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eA Victorian Christmas\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe Victorians on Evolution\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eMadness, Hysteria, and Masturbation\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eEmpress of India\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eJack the Ripper\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe 20th Century\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAnd much, much more \u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSo if you want to learn more about the Victorian Era, scroll up and click the \"add to cart\" button \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 122\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.31 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 26, 2019\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42710520102975,"sku":"9781950924554","price":32.38,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/d7c8610ba8e2940b402d501ac1c6a31f.webp?v=1765055216","url":"https:\/\/dhl-adrianne.myshopify.com\/products\/the-victorian-era-a-captivating-guide-to-the-life-of-queen-victoria-and-an-era-in-the-history-of-the-united-kingdom-known-for-its-hierar-hardcover","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
