The Victorians
Join Lianne Harris for a 1-hour presentation and discussion exploring the distinctive mind-set of the Victorian Age: what men & women feared and what they embraced, the inventions, improvements, clothes, trappings & trends and the social, political and sexual movements they represented.
This Victorian Age encompassed from 1837 to 1901 and spanned the peak of the British Empire and power, with unprecedented economic and technological growth. The Victorians also passed down a great deal of tradition – especially in the West – that influences us to this day.
