| Summary |
"Life of Her Most Gracious Majesty the Queen — Volume 1" by Sarah Tytler is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book explores the early life and reign of Queen Victoria, detailing her formative years leading up to her accession to the throne and the events surrounding her early rule. The opening of the work introduces a preface by Lord Ronald Gower, who reflects on his personal connection to Queen Victoria and the weight of responsibility that comes with chronicling her life. The first chapter places readers in England on May 24, 1819, marking the time of Victoria's birth. It paints a vivid picture of the socio-political climate of England during that era, highlighting the aftermath of the Napoleonic Wars, rising discontent among the working class, and a burgeoning need for political reform. Early themes of loyalty, duty, and the significance of Victoria’s royal lineage are established, setting the stage for her eventual ascendance to the throne amid the challenges facing the nation.
