The Victorian Period revolves around the political career of Queen Victoria. She was crowned in 1837 and died in 1901 (which put a definite end to her political career).

As Thomas Carlyle (1795-1881) wrote, \time for levity, insincerity, and idle babble and play-acting, in all kinds, is gone by; it is a serious, grave time.\b) Victoria Period
