Summary Note |
At the time of Queen Victoria's birth in 1819, England was an agrarian society. Within a few short decades, this small island nation would be transformed into an industrial superpower, with an empire spanning the globe. Queen Victoria's empire is both the story of this remarkable time, and an engaging portrait of a Queen who ruled over one fifth of the world population. It is the story of the influential figure heads that would shape a distinctively British imperialism. |
