Everything about Victorianism totally explained
Victorianism is the name given to the
attitudes,
art, and
culture of the latter two-thirds of the
19th century, especially with reference to
English-speaking peoples and the
British Empire.
Victorianists are people who study Victorianism or the
Victorian era.
The word is often specifically directed at
Victorian morality,
puritanism, and the
Victorian Social Order.
Brief history
Queen Victoria succeeded to the throne in
1837 and died in
1901, so the period 1840-1900 is often regarded as the
Victorian era.
Eric Hobsbawm refers to 1789-1914 as
the 'long' nineteenth century.
Victorianism covers the rise of an
industrialized society with a newly
urbanized middle class, the interconnection of the globe with
telegraph and
railway, the expansion of
trade, the establishment of the
gold standard and other programs meant to make orderly and regular the path of
commerce,
manufacturing and
economic growth. As a movement, the term is often synonymous with changes made to society directed at dealing with the effects of
trade,
industrialism, and
urbanization, while maintaining a strongly stratified social and political order.
