Talk:Victorian era

this page is locked, but there's a misspelling that's caused a broken link.

someone with editing privileges, fix the link to arthur sullivan, someone spelled his last name with only 1 l and tried to link it to his page, but the misspelling is preventing that link from working.

Broken Links on Child Labor

HTML tags for two articles on Child Labor were created incorrectly. There wasn't a space between .html and the title of the source. Fixed it now.

The relevance of architecture to the Victorian Era

I have not read the article throughout but a search using Ctrl-F reveals nothing about the Royal Albert Hall and I conclude therefore there is nothing about the architecture of Britain during the reign of this Queen?

In fact it did of course effectively change very radically in a number of ways in particular as a result of industrialization. I do not here intend to be understood as referring simply to the creation of Victorian new towns but also to the fact that for the first time a majority of the population lived in urban areas and, within the countryside itself, there was a change in both England and Scotland so far as what previously had been common or shared land was concerned reflecting a simultaneous change in the form of agribusiness.

I suggest architecture and the use of land (which latter continues at least in theory to be entirely the ultimate property of the monarch in accordance with the feudal system) was something with which Queen Victoria and Prince Albert were directly concerned, and the demonstration of this is I suggest the form given by them to Buckingham Palace and later presumably by the Queen herself to the Royal Albert Hall, these two being in fact related. The Royal Albert Hall clearly in turn related directly to industrialization in the particular form of the World Exhibition (later World's Fair). The significance of this in terms of policy and relationship to the two extraordinarily violent world wars which whether she and others had foreseen and feared it or not followed immediately after her reign (that of Queen Victoria) should not perhaps be underrated given the particular format, taken as a whole, of the wording of the frieze on the Royal Albert Hall (Uncle Jonathan, Walks in and Around London, 1895, 3 ed.)

PS I have now, just a little bit too late but that sort of thing happens as far as I am concerned, discovered the existence of the article on Victorian Architecture. This text is now therefore provided there as being perhaps more immediately relevant than it can perhaps be considered to be to the era in general. If it is thought that it is not relevant to this site at all then it can of course be removed. It does I hope also have a general interest in historical terms.

New category for Victorian Entertainment?

I'm thinking about creating a Victorian Entertainment category. Any thoughts? Should the Victorian architecture category go in here (in which case "Victorian Arts, Culture, and Entertainment" might be a better name)? Allens (talk) 22:23, 31 October 2011 (UTC)
