Summary "Great Britain and Her Queen" by Anne E. Keeling is a historical account written during the late 19th century. The book chronicles the life and reign of Queen Victoria, beginning with her ascension to the throne at the age of eighteen and exploring her influence over Britain as well as broader societal changes during her reign. It offers a rich narrative that highlights royal events, political struggles, and social issues, using Queen Victoria's experiences to illustrate the transformative era in which she ruled. The opening of the work presents a vivid depiction of Queen Victoria's initial awakening to her new role as a sovereign following her father's death. It captures her emotional response during her first encounters with dignitaries and her subsequent public proclamation, showcasing her mix of youthful innocence and emerging strength. Keeling emphasizes the support of her mother, Duchess of Kent, and the early expectations placed upon the young queen by society, while hinting at the tumultuous political landscape of England and the challenges she will face. The author sets the tone for an exploration of the Queen's growth as a ruler amid the issues of poverty, class struggles, and national sentiment that characterized the Victorian age.
