why do we still remember the Victorian era?

Answer 1

Just some suggestions:

Because it marks the height of the Industrial Revolution and
the greatest expanse of the British Empire?

Because it was a time of great cultural, political, social, industrial and scientific change, as reflected particularly in the writings of Marx, Dickens, and Darwin?

Because the first World's Fair was held during the period?

Because photography emerged during the period?

Because Jack the Ripper murdered prostitutes on the streets of London?

Because we have largely abandoned the prudent morality and sexual repression of the period?

Answer 2

The Victorian era was the basis for our modern era, and marked the dividing line between two very different kinds of society. Many things we have today are simply refinements of things that were developed in the Victoria era. Electricity, for example, was introduced in the Victorian era, where it was largely a novelty and was used only in the homes of wealthy persons. Today, we can't imagine life without electricity. Medicine made vast strides during the Victorian era, moving from the butchery of the Elizabethan era into a true science.
Education for the masses was another gift of the Victoria era. Prior to that, the vast majority of children received little or no education, and teaching was a very low class job, with no credentials required. Today, we have gone far beyond what the Victorians envisioned, and enjoy a high rate of universal literacy.
There are many, many reasons to remember the Victorian era, not the least of which is that it was without terrorism, and without the violent hatreds that seem to grip the world today.

Answer 5

I believe that the reason why we still remember the Victorian era is because it is a part of bygone history (well duh) and some of us secretly wish that society can be a little bit like it.

That era in time brought us some of the best writers and artists and even music as well as Victoria herself who holds the longest reign of any English monarch (60something years).
