The latter part of the 19th century, named after Queen Victoria.

Often stereotyped as prudish, in fact this period was a good deal more complex: The prudishness was a nascent feminism and a reaction to the looseness of the regency, but even then there where many prostitutes in Victorian London.

Most noted for bad, overwrought taste, neo-classical architecture, and the birth of romanticism. Most of the things we consider "traditional" really just date to this era (like white wedding dresses)
