Summary: "Historical Characters in the Reign of Queen Anne" by Mrs. Oliphant is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The work delves into the significant figures and events during the reign of Queen Anne, exploring the complexities of her reign which is often referred to as the Augustan age in English history. The focus appears to be on understanding the political, military, and literary implications of this period, particularly as they relate to the notable personalities who shaped it. The opening of the narrative introduces the reign of Queen Anne as a pivotal time in English history, marked by military success and intellectual progress. It contrasts the vigorous, tumultuous nature of her time with Anne's own physical fragility and personal challenges, painting her as a figure both central and slightly absurd to the grand historical stage. The chapter sets the groundwork for exploring the lives of prominent individuals associated with Anne, their relationships with the Queen, and the intricate dynamics that played out against the backdrop of a transitioning England. Notably, it hints at the impactful friendship between Anne and the Duchess of Marlborough, suggesting that their bond will be pivotal as the narrative unfolds.
