Humanity In The Victorian Age
The Victorian Era, the years of Queen Victoria’s reign: 1837-1901 were the years that many changes began to occur. With many changing attitudes towards religion, social values and ones-self came a transition that was for the best.
The Age of Enlightenment was where people of Britain questioned traditional authority and embraced the notion that humanity could be improved through rational change. The outcome of this was new inventions, scientific discoveries, laws, wars and revolutions.
Views on sexuality were changing as well. In the mid-to-late 19th century, thoughts of sex were shamed upon, especially in women, as they were seen to have little knowledge or desire for sex, and sex between anyone other than a man and a woman was punishable
