Ηοme Sweet Ηοme VICTORIAN ERA - Documentaries

The Victorian era of British record (which of the British Empire) was the period of Queen Victoria's reign from 20 June 1837 till her death, on 22 January 1901. It was a long period of peace, prosperity, fine-tuned sensibilities and national positive self-image for Britain. Some scholars date the start of the period in terms of sensibilities and political issues to the flow of the Reform Act 1832.
The fields of social past history and literary works often refer to the Victorian era as Victorianism, especially when going over the attitudes and culture of the later two-thirds of the 19th century. The study of Victorianism is often particularly directed at Victorian morality, which describes very moralistic, straitlaced language and behaviour. Those which study Victorianism are Victorianists. The era was preceded by the Georgian period and followed by the Edwardian period. The later fifty percent of the Victorian age roughly accompanied the initial portion of the Belle Epoque era of continental Europe and the Gilded Age of the United States.
Culturally there was a transition away from the rationalism of the Georgian period and toward romanticism and mysticism with regard to religion, social worths, and arts. In international relations the era was a long period of peace, known as the Pax Britannica, and economic, early american, and commercial consolidation, temporarily disrupted by the Crimean War in 1854.
Two especially vital numbers in this period of British record are the head of states Gladstone and Disraeli, whose contrasting views changed the course of history. Disraeli, favoured by the queen, was a gregarious Tory. His rival Gladstone, a Liberal wondered about by the Queen, offered much more terms and look after much of the overall legislative development of the era.
