If you guessed that the Victorian Era has something to do with a person named Victoria, you are correct. In fact, the Victorian Era in Great Britain is the period of growth and expansion of the British Empire under the reign of Queen Victoria between 1837 and 1901.
The Victorian Era is also known as the Golden Age of English Literature. It was during this time that British novels became an important part of the ongoing reading phenomenon. Famous British novelists of the era include the Brontë sisters, Rudyard Kipling, Charles Dickens, William Thackeray, and George Eliot.
Pay attention to those names—they seem and sound normal, right? Well, that’s because we are used to hearing those familiar names for centuries. But what if I told you that there were far more "interesting" and head-scratching names back then? I’m talking about names more unique than modern celebrity baby names. Yes, people back then were incredibly creative.
