Robert Wilson

Robert Wilson was a 19th-century author remembered for The Life and Times of Queen Victoria, a large-scale historical work published by Cassell in the 1890s. Surviving catalog records consistently identify him as Robert Wilson (1846–1893), and the book was issued in multiple volumes.

His best-known work combines biography with broader historical storytelling, using Queen Victoria’s life as a way to trace major events and public life in Britain during the Victorian era. Modern editions and library records show that the book continued to circulate after its original publication, suggesting it found a lasting readership among people interested in royal and British history.

Reliable biographical details about Wilson himself are scarce in the sources I could confirm, so little can be said with confidence beyond his dates and authorship of this notable work.
