The Victorian era of British history (which of the British Empire) was the period of Queen Victoria's regime from 20 June 1837 until her death, on 22 January 1901. It was an extended period of peace, prosperity, improved perceptiveness and national self-esteem for Britain. Some scholars date the start of the period in terms of perceptiveness and political worries to the passage of the Reform Act 1832.
The fields of social record and literature often refer to the Victorian era as Victorianism, specifically when talking about the attitudes and society of the later two-thirds of the 19th century. The study of Victorianism is often especially directed at Victorian morality, which refers to extremely moralistic, straitlaced language and behaviour. Those which study Victorianism are Victorianists. The era was preceded by the Georgian period and complied with by the Edwardian period. The later fifty percent of the Victorian age roughly coincided with the very first section of the Belle Epoque time of continental Europe and the Gilded Age of the United States.
Culturally there was a change away from the rationalism of the Georgian period and towards romanticism and necromancy with regard to religion, social values, and arts. In worldwide relations the era was a lengthy period of peace, known as the Pax Britannica, and economic, early american, and industrial unification, briefly disrupted by the Crimean War in 1854.
2 specifically vital figures in this period of British history are the head of states Gladstone and Disraeli, whose different views changed the course of record. Disraeli, favoured by the queen, was a gregarious Tory. His rival Gladstone, a Liberal mistrusted by the Queen, offered more terms and look after much of the general legal development of the time.
