The Queen's Reign and Its Commemoration A literary and pictorial review of the period; the story of the Victorian transformation

"The Queen's Reign and Its Commemoration" by Sir Walter Besant is a review of a time when Victoria was Queen, which looks at how much things changed in Britain. It shows how society, politics, and even the way people acted were all different during her time as Queen from 1837 to 1897. Starting with how people were unhappy before she became Queen, the book talks about important laws and things that happened that changed Britain. It explains how people didn't really care about the royal family at first, but how Queen Victoria helped bring back respect for them. Instead of just telling the Queen's life story, it studies how Britain became a more modern country while she was in charge, looking at all levels of society and the changes that shaped the nation.
