La reina del (melo)drama. La representación cinematográfica de Victoria del Reino Unido

In this article we intend to focus on the most significant as-pects of the aesthetic and narrative strategies which interwave the filmic discourses devoted to Victoria of the United Kingdom along the first two decades of the 21st century: The Young Victoria (Jean-Marc Valleé, 2009), Mrs. Brown (John Madden, 1997) and Victoria & Abdul (Stephen Frears, 2017). Our aim is to identify which biographical choices are em-phasized –that is, which facets are highlighted, omitted or invented– in order to understand which mechanisms articulate several filmic images of the British monarch and Empress of the India.
