Summary "Caroline the Illustrious" by W. H. Wilkins is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work delves into the life of Caroline of Ansbach, Queen-Consort of George II of Great Britain, highlighting her role and influence during a pivotal era in English history. The narrative explores her political authority and personal life, offering insights into her character as a formidable queen-regent who shaped the course of the Hanoverian dynasty. At the start of the narrative, readers are introduced to Caroline’s early life in Ansbach, describing the wealthy yet politically obscure background from which she emerged. The text recounts the historical context of her birth and upbringing, emphasizing the significance of her family connections and the role of influential figures like the Electress Sophia of Hanover. The opening sets the stage for Caroline’s eventual ascent to prominence, detailing her education, character development, and the important figures that influenced her as she navigated the complexities of court life and politics. There is an undertone of anticipation regarding her future marriage to George Augustus, hinting at the broader implications of her formidable presence in the English court.
