Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Queen Victoria's death in January 1901 shook Britain to its core, and reverberated not just throughout the Commonwealth, but around the world. She was a woman in her eighties, and yet it seems no one could contemplate the end of a reign that had lasted so long. Most could not remember a time when she was not Queen, and the very stability of everyday life seemed to depend on her regency. The anxiety of the government and the royal family about the prospect of the Queen's death was such that the news of her illness was deliberately concealed from the public for more than a week. When it came, people from England to Jamaica wept in the streets, and this grief was surpassed only by fear for the future. "God help us" was the standard reaction from all strata of society. The Last Days of Glory is the definitive account of those last 23 days in January 1901, when Victoria traveled to Osborne House to die. The momentous reaction to the Queen's passing attached to it more significance and a greater sense of change than the turn of the century had carried just a year earlier. Through the prism of those last days Tony Rennell presents us with a series of resonant and absorbing snapshots of a fading Empire at the end of the Victorian Age, and captures a nation coping with change, balancing comfortable nostalgia with the arrival of a new order.

Book excerpt: In January 1901, Queen Victoria, Queen of Great Britain, Empress of India, lay dying, her reign the longest in British history. She had given her name to an age, and now that age would pass into history. This book recreates the last days of the monarch, her death and the massive funeral. The author looks at the legacy she left behind, and how the empire she had created reacted to her leaving. From the royal palaces at Windsor and Osborne to the effect on foreign powers - including that of her grandson - Kaiser Wilhelm of Germany - and all parts of the Empire, the reader is shown how influential Queen Victoria had become. Alongside this, is the story of the royal physicians who worked hard to balance the needs of the Queen herself, her family and the wider political sphere in which she also played her part; the story of her son, Bertie, at last about to take on a proper role after years of acting the playboy; and the grieving public who mourned Victoria and the security, safety and status she stood for.
