Meer over het boek

Written by the noted Victorian literary historian Thomas Firminger Thiselton Dyer, this book provides a glimpse into the romantic lives of some of history's most famous figures, including Julius Caesar, Napoleon, and Queen Victoria. As much a work of social commentary as a collection of biographies, the book offers insight into the changing attitudes towards love and marriage during the Victorian era.
