About this listen
Don't be shy, send me a message!
Thomas Felix Creighton continues The Alphabet of Britishness, looking especially at Queen Victoria.
The first ten minutes covers:
Thomas’ top three cinematic and TV depictions of Queen Victoria
- Mrs. Brown (1997)
- The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes (1970)
- Doctor Who “Tooth and Claw” (modern season 2, episode 2)
...and also in brief some other 'V' topics such as:
- Victoria & Albert Museum
- Vauxhall (London)
- Vermouth
- Vesper (seems silly not to)
- Victory! Although perhaps we’ll cover this far more in the next installment…
- Vicar - again a great suggestion for a deep dive
- Viceroy – check out my video and podcast episode looking at my top five books on the British Empire: www.youtube.com/britishculture
- Vickers machine gun
The main part of this podcast comprises of two readings, one on the height of the Victorian Era, the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee of 1897, and the second on The Great Exhibition of 1851.
- “Pax Britannica: The Climax of the Empire” by James / Jan Morris.
- “A Portrait of Britain Between the Exhibitions 1851 – 1951” by Donald Lindsay and E.S. Washington, part of the Oxford Introduction to British History series.
