This book embarks on a captivating exploration of how Victorian society portrayed historical queens as manifestations of ambivalence and anxieties revolving around Queen Victoria herself. Employing the metaphor of the shadow as a critical methodology, the dissertation meticulously uncovers the gaps and discontinuities that linger within the backdrop of Victoria's reign. It delves into how British writers and artists, while grappling with symbols of queenship, projected their own complex perceptions onto these historical figures.
