      • Victorina Press

        Victorina Press was created by  Consuelo Rivera-Fuentes, a Chilean-British writer and academic. We are therefore rooted strongly in Chilean and British cultures. Our mission is to publish inspirational, quality books in the spirit of bibliodiversity, a concept developed by a group of Chilean independent publishers — Editores independientes de Chile. It encourages the celebration of a variety of voices from all over the world and prevents our publishing world from being a monolithic culture. Everyone has a story to tell. We want to be the ones to tell it. Consuelo’s Latin American roots play a huge role in our publishing today, with many of our books being translated into Spanish as stand alone or bilingual publications. Publishing everything from hard-hitting, inspirational memoirs, thrilling YA dystopias, gripping historical fiction, fun early learning, colourful, exciting children's books, literature for the classic shelf, and poetry to entice you, there is one book for every genre!

        Queen Victoria

        by Edith Sitwell, Carl F.W. Behl

        Victoria (1819-1901) wird im Alter von nur 18 Jahren zur englischen Thronfolgerin ernannt – aus der jungen unerfahrenen Königin wird eine der mächtigsten und einflussreichsten Herrscherinnen der Welt. Unter der 63-jährigen Regentschaft der Ur-ur-Großmutter von Queen Elizabeth erlebte das britische Kolonialreich eine unvergleichliche politische, wirtschaftliche und kulturelle Blütezeit, und ihr Wirken und ihr Ruhm reichten weit über ihr Leben hinaus – ein ganzes Zeitalter wurde nach ihr benannt. Edith Sitwell hat die Tagebücher und privaten Briefe von Königin Victoria studiert und erzählt anschaulich aus dem ereignisreichen Leben der Monarchin und von den Intrigen am königlichen Hof.

        After 1851

        The material and visual cultures of the Crystal Palace at Sydenham

        by Edited by Kate Nichols, Sarah Victoria Turner

        Echoing Joseph Paxton's question at the close of the Great Exhibition, 'What is to become of the Crystal Palace?', this interdisciplinary essay collection argues that there is considerable potential in studying this unique architectural and art-historical document after 1851, when it was rebuilt in the South London suburb of Sydenham. It brings together research on objects, materials and subjects as diverse as those represented under the glass roof of the Sydenham Palace itself; from the Venus de Milo to Sheffield steel, souvenir 'peep eggs' to war memorials, portrait busts to imperial pageants, tropical plants to cartoons made by artists on the spot, copies of paintings from ancient caves in India to 1950s film. Essays do not simply catalogue and collect this eclectic congregation, but provide new ways for assessing the significance of the Sydenham Crystal Palace for both nineteenth- and twentieth-century studies. The volume will be of particular interest to researchers and students of British cultural history, museum studies, and art history.

        Fantastic histories

        Medieval fairy narratives and the limits of wonder

        by Victoria Flood

        Fantastic Histories explores the political and cultural contexts of the entry of fairies to the historical record in twelfth century England, and the subsequent uses of fairy narratives in both insular and continental history and romance. It traces the uses of the fairy as a contested marker of historicity and fictionality in the histories of Gerald of Wales and Walter Map, the continental mirabilia of Gervase of Tilbury, and the fourteenth- and fifteenth-century French Mélusine romances and their early English reception. Working across insular and continental source material, Fantastic Histories explores the practices of history-writing, fiction-making, and the culturally determined boundaries of wonder that defined the limits of medieval history.
