Summary: "The Early Court of Queen Victoria" by Clare Jerrold is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book focuses on the formative years of Queen Victoria, presenting her upbringing and the complexities of her familial relationships during her early reign. It aims to humanize the often idealized image of Victoria, highlighting both her virtues and the challenges posed by her upbringing. The opening of the book sets the stage by discussing the unpopularity of the Duchess of Kent, Victoria's mother, among royal relatives and the broader societal implications of her strained relationships within the Guelph family. The narrative introduces the dynamics surrounding Victoria's childhood, emphasizing her mother's controlling nature and the impact this had on Victoria's personality and future reign. Additionally, it details the perceptions and criticisms of public figures and society towards the Duchess and the royal family, outlining the challenges they faced during a politically turbulent time in England.
