From when to when is the Victorian era?

Question

Stupid question.... but I need accuracy and confirmation. Thanks.

Answer 1

The Victorian Era of Great Britain marked the height of the British industrial revolution and the apex of the British Empire. Although commonly used to refer to the period of Queen Victoria's rule between 1837 and 1901, scholars debate whether the Victorian period--as defined by a variety of sensibilities and political concerns that have come to be associated with the Victorians--actually begins with the passage of the Reform Act 1832. The Victorian era was preceded by the Regency era and succeeded by the Edwardian period.

Answer 2

The Victorian era began about 1837, when Queen Victoria came to the throne just after her 18th birthday. She died in 1901, and this is about when the Victorian era ended. Round about after that the Modernist movement took off, early 1900's/1920's.

Answer 3
