The book reflects on the transformative effects of Queen Victoria’s reign from 1837 to 1897, exploring socio-political changes, the evolution of societal norms, and the character of the English people. Besant offers an analysis of the various social strata and reforms that defined this significant period in British history. The opening of the book sets the stage for a contemplative exploration of the Victorian transformation, beginning with a reflection on the prior discontent within society at the start of Queen Victoria's reign. Besant contemplates the expectations of societal reforms stemming from the previous generations and outlines the major shifts resulting from significant legislation and events that shaped the socio-political landscape. He introduces the ethos of the time, acknowledging the absence of loyalty to the Crown among the working class and foreshadowing the Queen’s eventual role in revitalizing respect and loyalty to the monarchy, a theme that is to be elaborated throughout the work. Besant also emphasizes that the volume will not provide a mere biography of the Queen but rather a broader analysis of the societal changes that signaled the modern evolution of Britain during her reign.
