This intimate two-volume biography provides a rich portrait of Britain’s King Edward VII through unprecedented access to court documents, letters, and diaries. Editor Sir Richard Holmes gathers over 30 prominent historians to chronicle Edward’s life from his neglected upbringing as the heir apparent to his significant political influence as a beloved yet controversial monarch. The work balances Edward’s salacious personal scandals and indulgences with his adept diplomacy in strengthening the British Empire at the turn of the 20th century. Remarkably researched and candid for its time, Edward VII His Life And Times remains an authoritative reference on the king’s complex character and far-reaching legacy over Britain and its territories during a transformative era under his rule.
