Victorian era
From Spanking Art
The Victorian era is the time period of England’s Queen Victoria's reign, 1837-1901, i.e. the mid and late 19th century. It is considered the height of the British industrial revolution and the apex of the British Empire.
The term Victorian has acquired a range of connotations, including that of a particularly strict set of moral standards, which are often applied hypocritically. Other connotations are prudery, sexual repression, low tolerance of crime, and a strong social ethic.
The Victorian era was preceded by the Regency Period (1811 - 1820) and succeeded by the Edwardian era (1901 - 1910).

[edit] Art in the Victorian era
Art in the Victorian era was strong in academic realism (the style of William-Adolphe Bouguereau et al.). A big web gallery devoted to this style of art is the Art Renewal Center.
[edit] The Victorian era in literature
Among the best known works of fiction that portray life in the Victorian era are the novels of Charles Dickens (1812-1870), such as Oliver Twist or David Copperfield.
[edit] Parenting and education in the Victorian era
Parenting and education in the Victorian era was very strict by today's standards and infamous for its use of corporal punishment, along with other punishment methods that were designed to maximize the humiliation and shame of the juvenile delinquent.
It included methods such as caning, birching, strapping, tawsing, switching, slippering, spanking, and corner time. Other, more 'exotic' forms of punishment that were allegedly (probably only occasionally) used in the Victorian era included punishment enemas and figging.
