Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, Empress of India has been portrayed or referenced many times. ==Literature== In 1937 Lord Chamberlain the Earl of Cromer ruled that no British sovereign may be portrayed on the British stage until 100 years after his or her accession. For this reason, Laurence Housman's play ''Victoria Regina'' (1935), which had earlier appeared at the Gate Theatre Studio in London with Pamela Stanley in the title role, could not have its British premiere until the centenary of Queen Victoria's accession, 20 June 1937. This was a Sunday, so the new premiere took place the next day, at the Lyric Theatre. Pamela Stanley reprised the title role at Housman's request, and Carl Esmond played Prince Albert.〔''All the Best People ...: The Pick of Peterborough 1929–1945'', George Allen & Unwin, 1981; p. 139〕 The play later appeared on Broadway, where Helen Hayes portrayed the Queen, with Vincent Price in the role of Prince Albert. A 'Royal Diaries' book was written, documenting her childhood between 1829 and 1830: ''Victoria, May Blossom of Britannia'' by Anna Kirwan. The Victorian age is experienced through the eyes of the fictional Morland family in ''The Abyss'', ''The Hidden Shore'', ''The Winter Journey'', ''The Outcast'', ''The Mirage'', ''The Cause'', ''The Homecoming'' and ''The Question'', Volumes 18–25 respectively of The Morland Dynasty, a series of historical novels by author Cynthia Harrod-Eagles. One of the characters becomes Victoria's devoted lady-in-waiting. Cynthia Harrod-Eagles also wrote ''I Victoria'', a fictional autobiography of Queen Victoria. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cultural depictions of Queen Victoria」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
