Editorial Reviews

This is the remarkable and often moving story of Britain’s longest reigning monarch –a woman who gave her name to an entire era. History remembers the Queen’s blissfully happy marriage to Prince Albert and her withdrawal from public life after his untimely death: the entire Victorian period saw massive social and economic changes in British society. And, of course, the Queen’s red-coated armies marched to win her an Empire.

Featuring re-creations and dramatized reconstructions, this informative and entertaining program provides a unique portrait of a fascinating woman and a memorable time in British history. It also includes superb period imagery and photographs plus expert commentary and historical analyses.

2.0 out of 5 stars Informative but incredibly boring, January 25, 2008

This review is from: Great Queens of England - Queen Victoria (DVD)

This film succeeds as a basic review of the Victorian Age, however the majority of experts interviewed are incredibly boring making it hard to concentrate on the content.

This review is from: Great Queens of England - Queen Victoria (DVD)

This DVD is okay if you just want to learn the basics of Victorian history. It does not compare to any DVD produced by the History Channel for display or imformational purposes. I was disappointed in the DVD.

This review is from: Great Queens of England - Queen Victoria (DVD)

I tried to showing this to my AP European History students, but the audio was just to difficult to understand. Loud background music and thick British accents made it nearly impossible to understand what the narrator was saying. At one point, one of my students asked if we could turn on the captions just so she could understand what was being said! The production was just not very well done.
