Reflections on the legacy of Queen Elizabeth II

Five experts from the University of Pennsylvania consider the regent’s seven-decade reign, weighing everything from the changing role of media in crafting her image to the future of the United Kingdom. King Charles III, who ascended the throne after the death of his mother Queen Elizabeth II last week, vowed in his first speech to the nation to carry on her legacy. “Queen Elizabeth’s was a life well lived; a promise with destiny kept, and she is mourned most deeply in her passing. That promise of lifelong service I renew to you all today,” he said. Penn Today asked five faculty experts to share their perspectives on that legacy and where the monarchy goes from here. Jed Esty is the Vartan Gregorian Professor of English in the School of Arts & Sciences. Esty is the author of the just-published book, “The Future of Decline: Anglo-American Culture at Its Limits,” a sequel to his 2004 book, “A Shrinking Island: Modernism and National Culture in England.”
