| Summary | "The Atlantic Monthly, Volume 13, No. 77, March, 1864" by Various is a historical magazine issue published in the mid-19th century. This edition presents a variety of essays and articles reflecting on topics of literature, art, and politics, as well as featuring cultural commentary relevant to the period. Notably, the opening article titled "The Queen of California" dives into a deep exploration of the legendary figure Queen Calafia, entwining history with literary analysis, guiding readers through both myth and the romantic literature of the time. At the start of this volume, the reader is introduced to the intriguing premise surrounding "The Queen of California." The piece begins with a humorous tone, engaging the audience in discussion about the possible identities of this queen, only to reveal that she is not a modern figure but a fictional creation from historical romance literature over five centuries ago. As it unfolds, the narrative transports readers to an imaginative depiction of Calafia, highlighting her beauty and strength, as well as her fantastical world populated solely by women, engaging them in themes of chivalry and adventure intertwined with real historical events, such as the siege of Constantinople. The writing style is rich in detail and reflective of the literary customs of its time, melding romance and reality to capture the essence of the mythical California.
