When the newly crowned George IV, formerly the Prince of Wales, refused to recognise his estranged wife Caroline as the rightful queen of the Britain, her refusal to rescind her claim to the throne provoked a huge campaign of sympathy and support that almost toppled the government. The British people rallied round the ‘injured’ queen in their hundreds of thousands, and massed rallies, processions, protests and petitioning became daily news..The Queen Caroline controversy was the zenith of the ‘Golden Age’ of caricature, a tour-de-force of imagination, wit, inventiveness and sheer political mischief. In image after image, Caroline triumphs over her cowardly and conniving enemies, subverting gender and political hierarchies, and giving a presence and voice to her unenfranchised followers. This book therefore aims tochronicle and analyse this achievement. . | 出版日期 | Book 2023 | 关键词 | royal scandal; queenship; monarchy; nineteenth-century Britain; George IV | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-46224-5 | isbn_ebook | 978-3-031-46224-5Series ISSN 2730-938X Series E-ISSN 2730-9398 | issn_series | 2730-938X | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerl |
