I love histories and biography and usually find something compelling within their pages, especially when the subject is a monarch of any kind. Well, this one let me down. I tried and tried to become interested but the subject (Queen Anne) was not all that interesting and the endless political and religious details slowed it down to a snail's pace. Plus the book is 600+ pages. I felt like I'd climbed Mount Everest when I was done, with none of the glory.The book is entitled Politics of Passion because Queen Anne had some romantic attachments to women over the course of her life. At a time when it was common for friends to write to one another like lovers, it is a bit of a stretch to turn her into a lesbian...but that is the hint. I didn't buy it. Her "passions" sounded like schoolgirl crushes and infatuations. Yeah, there was scandal. But nobody liked this person. They were always looking for ways to make her look bad.If you are really REALLY interested in every single detail of Queen Anne's life, every love note, every miscarriage, every spat with a lady-in-waiting, you will enjoy this book, maybe. But I found it slow and tedious. Since I am usually fascinated with biography, read a lot of it and never skim, I am going to assume that this writer just did not grab me.Perhaps her writing will grab you and you will eat up this book.For the average book-lover, I'd say pass.
Anne is an interesting topic. I've read a lot about Charles II but little about his niece. The first half was wonderful. I found her explanation of James II fascinating. Most history books just gloss over the so called 'Glorious Revolution' but somerset explains it well. Also of great interest to me was the beginning of the Tories and Whigs, not to mention the conflicts regarding religion. I think it was a fair portrait of the Queen herself. I am still stunned that she went through 17 pregnancies with no surviving children. The fact that she could function at all after those emotional and physical tramas is amazing. The reason for four stars is that the second half really bogged me down. There was so much about the political infighting that I think should have been edited down. On the other hand, I learned a lot in the first half and am quite glad I read it.
A historical account of the reign of Queen Anne of England, and also the events leading up to and surrounding her reign. I found the book to be quite easy reading and very informative. It deals with the difficult relationship between Anne and the Sarah Churchill who became Lady Marlborough. This was certainly a love/hate relationship and involved Lord Marlborough, the head of the English army, as well. It is incredible that Queen Anne did not produce an heir in spite of 17 pregnancies. This book was written from historical letters and documents and I believe was accurate. It avoided being fanciful as are other stories of Queen Ann that I have read. Because it was a little boring in places, I rate it four stars, but I esteem it as a very good book.
I don't normally write reviews, but I was so blown away by this biography I had to. Somerset has done a great service to restore the reputation of a monarch who, rather than being the superficial card-playing Mrs. Morley, was a very hands-on player in the age that established the presence of modern political parties in parliamentary and representative-government nations.Anyone who despairs at the machinations of Republicans and Democrats can take some comfort in reading about the far more vicious tactics, scurrilous pamphlets and backstairs goings-on of the Whigs and Tories. Despite being more sympathetic to the "High Church" Tories, to her great credit, Anne's sole motivation in choosing governments, dismissing Parliaments and navigating the very (very!) strong personalities of the time was simply "not to be the slave of any party."To that end, she somehow (mostly) managed to navigate the shoals of Whig and Tory. There's no question misogyny has played something of a role in the decline of Anne's reputation, but Somerset makes it clear that it's no coincidence that Anne's reign was coincident with Britain's emergence as the major power in Europe.
Queen Anne is not one of the more famous monarchs of England but Somerset has done much to explain her role during a tumultuous period in history She lived through the Glorious Revolution, the highly expensive War of Spanish Succession, the unification of England and Scotland, and undoubtedly one of the nastiest periods of party politics. Anne was not particularly well educated and her shyness and lack of social skills added to her weaknesses as a monarch. However, she was hardworking, conscientious, and dedicated to safeguarding the rights of the monarchy in the governance of the kingdom. She unsuccessfully sought to build a government of moderate Whigs and Tories but the partisan politics was so vehement that this was impossible. Complicating the issue was Anne's relationship with Sarah Churchill, the Duchess of Marlborough, a key player in Whig politics. What began as a close friendship degenerated into an ugly scandal with most of the vituperation issuing from the mouth and pen of Sarah. In addition to her disappointments as Queen, Anne also suffered the lost of all of her children who were born alive as well as several miscarriages and stillbirths. The fact that she was the last Protestant Stuart meant that this personal tragedy had serious political ramifications as the Jacobites and the Hanoverians waited for her death.Somerset has written a rich, detailed biography and political study. The number of important characters and the complicated political situation both in England and in Europe necessitate close attention on the part of the reader. This is not a book to breeze through but it is enjoyable and worthwhile.
