"Queen Victoria as I Knew Her" by Sir Theodore Martin is a historical account likely written in the late 19th century. The text focuses on Martin's personal observations and experiences with Queen Victoria, detailing his role as the biographer of Prince Albert, her husband. The narrative provides intimate insights into the character and personality of the queen, moving beyond her public persona to reveal her private thoughts and sentiments. The opening of the work introduces the author's connection to Queen Victoria through his appointment as the biographer of the Prince Consort. Martin reflects on the trust she placed in him and the unique opportunities he had to witness her qualities of mind and heart. He describes their initial interactions, noting the warmth and sincerity of the Queen, as well as the mutual respect that developed between them. The excerpt reveals that Martin aims to offer a portrayal of Victoria not just as a monarch, but as a woman deeply affected by her personal losses, particularly the death of her beloved husband, and how this influenced her reign and relationship with her subjects.
