"The Passing of the Great Queen: A Tribute to the Noble Life of Victoria Regina" by Marie Corelli is a heartfelt biography written in the early 20th century. This book serves as both a eulogy and a reflective piece upon the life of Queen Victoria, highlighting her virtue, compassion, and the profound impact she had on the British Empire. Through Corelli's writings, readers can sense the intertwining of personal and national grief following the Queen's death as she navigates themes of loss, legacy, and the cultural shifts occurring in society during that period. In the narrative, Corelli articulates the deep sorrow felt by the nation as they bid farewell to Queen Victoria, whom they regarded as a mother figure. The book echoes her modesty, enduring faith, and dedication to duty throughout her reign, emphasizing her detachment from ostentation and display. Corelli juxtaposes the simpler virtues embodied by the Queen against the emerging societal trends that she perceived as decadent. The text not only captures the reverence and respect for the late monarch but also serves as a call to uphold the values she cherished. As the narrative unfolds, readers are left to contemplate the future of the monarchy and the nation under her successor, King Edward VII, in light of the cultural transformations and turbulent times ahead.
