Queen Victoria: Images of Power and Empire
This lecture will examine the images of power and empire projected by Queen Victoria over the course of her reign.
Beginning with her coronation, it surveys her depictions as a young queen. It looks at the transformation of her image after Albert’s death from devoted wife to grief-stricken widow. It examines portrayals of Victoria as grandmother of Europe and as Empress of India, and it concludes that the strongest image is that of the black-dressed Queen alone.
A lecture by Jane Ridley recorded on 15 February 2023 at Barnard's Inn Hall, London
