He found his greatest success, however, in the role of biographer to Prince Albert (1819–61). Commissioned by Queen Victoria to memorialise her late husband, this five-volume work was first published between 1875 and 1880. Intended as a continuation of the biography begun by Charles Grey (also reissued in this series), it has been described as 'less adulatory in tone than might be expected'. A treasury of letters and memoranda, it presents a detailed portrait of the character, words and deeds of a man whose life was necessarily immersed in the great events of his time. Volume 2 covers the period from 1848 to 1854, the births of Princes Arthur and Leopold, the collapse of the Chartist movement and the 'spectacular success' of the Great Exhibition of 1851.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eTo the Queen\u003cbr\u003e 23. 1848\u003cbr\u003e 24. 1848 - continued\u003cbr\u003e 25. 1848 - continued\u003cbr\u003e 26. 1848 - continued\u003cbr\u003e 27. 1848 - continued\u003cbr\u003e 28. 1848 - continued\u003cbr\u003e 29. 1848 - continued\u003cbr\u003e 30. 1848 - continued\u003cbr\u003e 31. 1848 - continued\u003cbr\u003e 32. 1849\u003cbr\u003e 33. 1849 - continued\u003cbr\u003e 34. 1849 - continued\u003cbr\u003e 35. 1849 - continued\u003cbr\u003e 36. 1849–50\u003cbr\u003e 37. 1850\u003cbr\u003e 38. 1850 - continued\u003cbr\u003e 39. 1850 - continued\u003cbr\u003e 40. 1850 - continued\u003cbr\u003e 41. 1850 - continued\u003cbr\u003e 42. 1850–1\u003cbr\u003e 43. 1851 - continued\u003cbr\u003e 44. 1851 -continued\u003cbr\u003e 45. 1852\u003cbr\u003e 46. 1852 - continued\u003cbr\u003e 47. 1852–3\u003cbr\u003e 48. 1853 - continued\u003cbr\u003e 49. 1853 - continued\u003cbr\u003e 50. 1853–4\u003cbr\u003e Appendix.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: British \u0026amp; Irish history [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on British \u0026amp; Irish history\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22British%20\u0026amp;%20Irish%20history%20%5BHBJD1%5D%22\"\u003eHBJD1\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46266135806232,"sku":"9781108059800","price":41.28,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9781108059800i_312ec09a-203e-4605-901e-3db9d99b38f5.jpg?v=1696747446","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/the-life-of-his-royal-highness-the-prince-consort-paperback-9781108059800","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
