The Victorian Era

Like many of the literary time periods, the Victorian Era also has some room for debate over when it began and what brought the change of the Victorian Era into play. There's typically two choices for the beginning of this era, and either makes sense for a beginning of this timeline. 

One option for the beginning of the Victorian Era's beginning is in 1832, which was when the 1st Reform Bill was passed. It had taken two years for this bill to pass and almost brought Britain to the verge of revolution. It was the first change to the constitution and what it did was introduced changes to the electoral system that allowed people who didn't own land to be a part of it. This is a landmark change that set about a new era because it brought focus to the logical, people were beginning to become politically aware of their surroundings and focus on realism instead of just the romantic notion that the Romantic Era brought into play.
           
The second option for the beginning of the Victorian Era is in 1837, which is the year that Queen Victoria takes over the thrown from King William. The most obvious reason for this being the beginning of the era is the time period is named after her. It is often associated with peace that is believed to be because of the reign of Queen Victoria.
           
Though the Victorian Era is able to have two possible beginnings of the period, both are quite possible and accurate accounts for a beginning. The Victorian Era brought a sense of peace to the people, helped to gain political insight to the people, gained a better sense of logic over romantic ideas, and switched over to realism as a writing style. They were more interested in painting a clear picture of the world around them, not an idealistic point of view. It was a point of technological advancement and progress of the times.
