Increasingly scholars take a generous view of the multi-faceted term "Victorian," dating it not only from Victoria's reign, but sometimes from her birth in 1819 - or at least from the Great Reform Bill of 1832, when she was thirteen. Our approach to one common historical norm, the long nineteenth century (1789-1914), allows us to make contrasts and comparisons across a wide span of time and to include texts that were published before and after Victoria's reign by writers who came into prominence during that reign.
