review text: Right from the early days when the canonical formalism of general relativity was formulated on the basis of the special lectures of Dirac and the Arnowitt-Deser-Misner (ADM) work, interest in further extension and consolidation of analytic solutions of various kinds has considerably increased. This, indeed, is a rich field of research still. After an introduction detailing different problems in solving the Wheeler-DeWitt (WD) equation concerning non-operator ordering, time, interpretation of wave function, realization of classical systems from quantum systems, regularization etc., the paper discusses a canonical formalism of the Einstein-Maxwell theory in a spherically symmetric spacetime with a cosmological constant term. In the third section a canonical quantisation in the Schrödinger picture is carried out leading to a set of constrained wave equations, momentum constraint equation, WD equation, mass and charge eigenstate equations. Relevant Hamiltonian and some commutation relations are covered. In the final section a summary is provided touching on comparison of the author's solutions with WKB (semi-classical) solution, Schwarzschild black hole and de Sitter universe case \((m=0)\). It is claimed that the present solutions are useful to investigate the early universe, inflation epoch and the cosmological quantum black hole. There is an extensive bibliography consisting of 34 valuable references.
