"Caroline the Illustrious, vol. 2" by W. H. Wilkins is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book provides an in-depth study of Queen Caroline, the consort of George II, chronicling her life and the political landscape during her reign, including her efforts to exert influence over her husband’s rule. The opening of the work sets the stage following the death of George I, detailing the immediate reactions and shifts within the court as George II assumes the throne. It captures pivotal moments, such as Sir Robert Walpole's response to the new king’s brusque dismissal, Caroline’s political maneuvering, and her keen desire to be more than just a figurehead. Queen Caroline's determination to sway her husband George II through her political acumen is evident as she navigates the tensions of a transitioning monarchy while attempting to consolidate power behind the scenes. This narrative introduces the key players and political challenges of the time, painting a vivid portrait of Caroline’s ambitions and her critical role in shaping the evolving British monarchy.
