In the last years of the nineteenth and the first years of the twentieth century, Queen Victoria was a central symbol in the culture of the British empire. She was a ubiquitous figure, whose image was present throughout the empire on public monuments, coins, advertisements, souvenirs, and the stage. Her personal popularity, as well as her renown, reached its peak in 1897 when celebrations were held throughout the empire to mark her sixtieth year on the throne. A few years later in 1901, millions of people mourned her passing, and dozens of memorial projects were begun.

520 $a In the last years of the nineteenth and the first years of the twentieth century, Queen Victoria was a central symbol in the culture of the British empire. She was a ubiquitous figure, whose image was present throughout the empire on public monuments, coins, advertisements, souvenirs, and the stage. Her personal popularity, as well as her renown, reached its peak in 1897 when celebrations were held throughout the empire to mark her sixtieth year on the throne. A few years later in 1901, millions of people mourned her passing, and dozens of memorial projects were begun.
520 $a This dissertation is a study of how Victoria was imagined and remembered in England, India, and Canada. It focuses on the diamond jubilee celebration and on commemoration efforts after her death, and uses a variety of sources including local and national newspapers, government records, memoirs, records of memorial committees and other organizations, books, printed ephemera, and public monuments.
520 $a Representations of Queen Victoria were shaped in exchanges between local and national concerns, commercial and official activities, imperial, and colonial interests. Although images of Victoria were remarkably consistent throughout the empire, various groups and individuals projected different and sometimes contradictory meanings onto her.
520 $a Repeatedly Victoria was represented in two complementary images: as a regal queen, enthroned and imperial; and as a compassionate maternal woman, often in domestic settings. The meanings of these two equally idealized images, however, were shaped by discourses of nationalism and imperialism, social anxieties, ideas about gender, consumer cultures, and the practices of public memory. She was a rallying point for imperialists, a symbolic ally to Indian nationalists, the embodiment of the past for anxious Edwardians, a role model for middle-class women, a means to enact loyalty for community leaders in India and England, and a saleable commodity for entrepreneurs. By examining her image in three disparate imperial locales, this dissertation elucidates interactions between the metropolitan and colonial, the nationalist and the imperialist, the politician and the advertiser, in the production of a single icon.
