The Victorian era may be heavily representedin pop culture,through stately period dramas, rollicking novels, and gritty television series,but it's also one of the most misunderstood periods in history. From prudish queens to macabre mourners, myths about the Victorian era persist. These myths and inaccuraciesoversimplify a ridiculously complex historical era, as well as its inhabitants.
The Victorian era wasso named because ofQueen Victoria's reignover the United Kingdom, which lastedfrom 1837 until 1901 - an era in which the United Kingdom headed a vast empire that generated both great wealth and great inequality. The Victorian era was indeed rife withcontradictions: it was a time of heightened morality, elaborate clothing, and new rituals surrounding the departed; it was also a time of bawdy jokes, technological innovation, and amplified debatesregarding human intimacy.
Myths about the Victorian era, whether they stem from fiction or inaccurate readings of the past,tend to interpret the era in very limited terms. Debunking Victorian myths allows for a closer, more accurate look at one of history's most misunderstood eras.
