Publisher's Synopsis
The Queen's Rosary: An Acrostic is a collection of sixty sonnets written by Alice Davis Van Cleve in celebration of the sixty years of Queen Victoria's reign. Each sonnet is dedicated to a specific event that occurred during the reign, and the first letter of each sonnet spells out the phrase ""Victoria Regina Imperatrix."" The book was published in 1902, shortly after Queen Victoria's death, and serves as a tribute to her long and illustrious reign. The sonnets are written in a traditional form, with fourteen lines and a strict rhyme scheme, and cover a wide range of topics, including the queen's personal life, her political achievements, and the major events of the era. The Queen's Rosary: An Acrostic is a beautifully crafted homage to one of the most important figures in British history, and offers a unique perspective on the many accomplishments of Queen Victoria's reign.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
