ビクトリア女王伝

Lytton Strachey, 佐竹則和

Lytton Strachey's Queen Victoria is a compact biography that traces the queen's life through both private experience and public power. Rather than celebrating monarchy at face value, it presents Victoria as a figure shaped by feeling, judgment, and tension with her age.
