In this groundbreaking account, Miles Taylor shows how Victoria passionately shaped her rule of India. She intervened in the country's politics, commissioned artists to record its landscape, and surrounded herself with the trappings of conquest such as the Koh-i-Noor diamond. Contrary to popular assumption, the Queen-Empress enjoyed both ceremonial power and popular support. The Raj, Taylor argues, was one of her greatest successes. Book jacket.
