Book excerpt: Victoria was only eighteen years old when she assumed the throne of England. The new queen quickly had to learn everything she could about politics and governing, relying heavily on her prime ministers for guidance. Marriage to her cousin, Albert of Saxe-Coburg, brought her a loving husband and partner. Together they raised nine children and oversaw the expansion of the British Empire. Albert's premature death, in 1861, left Victoria bereaved and so deeply depressed that she never fully recovered. She lived another four decades, however, and saw the British Empire reach its apogee. When she died in 1901, she had held the throne for sixty-three years, longer than any other British monarch. Queen Victoria and the British Empire is a vivid portrait of this brilliant period and the queen who gave her name to an era. Book jacket.

Book Synopsis Mistress of everything by : Sarah Carter

Download or read book Mistress of everything written by Sarah Carter. This book was released on 2016-07-01. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mistress of everything examines how indigenous people across Britain's settler colonies engaged with Queen Victoria in their lives and predicaments, incorporated her into their political repertoires, and implicated her as they sought redress for the effects of imperial expansion during her long reign. It draws together empirically rich studies from Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Southern Africa, to provide scope for comparative and transnational analysis. The book includes chapters on a Maori visit to Queen Victoria in 1863, meetings between African leaders and the Queen's son Prince Alfred in 1860, gift-giving in the Queen's name on colonial frontiers in Canada and Australia, and Maori women's references to Queen Victoria in support of their own chiefly status and rights. The collection offers an innovative approach to interpreting and including indigenous perspectives within broader histories of British imperialism and settler colonialism.
