The Victorian Era
The Victorian era was the period of Queen Victoria's reign, from 20 June 1837 until her death on 22 January 1901.
The era followed the Georgian period (and Regency Period ) and preceded the Edwardian period
From a historical point of view, in terms of moral sensibilities and political reforms, the period can arguably be said to have begun with the passing of the Reform Act of 1832.

From the Italian comic opera Le Sorelle Brontë (1963), by Alexandrian writer Bernard de Zogheb, to Yoshishige Yoshida’s Arashi ga Oka (1988), set in medieval Japan, the sisters’ work has inspired numerous adaptations across the world.
Perhaps the most peculiar of these spin-offs is a biographical drama from post iron-curtain Hungary. Brontë-k (“Brontës”), first published by Hungarian writers Zsolt Győrei and Csaba Schlachtovszky in 1992, is a curiously playful, topsy-turvy and irreverent play about the Brontë family.
The play’s story is truly transnational. Set in late spring 1848 on the Yorkshire moors, it revisits the popular myths and mysteries surrounding the Brontës, but with a neo-Victorian (a modern reimagining what the Victorian era was like) twist.
