Queen Victoria ruled the UK from 1837 to 1901. This period in the histo­ry of the country is called Victorian. It is marked by great change. During this period the country became one of the richest and most powerful in the world as a result of the growth in industry and trade and the development of the British Empire. At the same time in Victorian England the gulf between the rich and the poor became wider and Victorian factories were notorious for using children’s labour.

When people think now of the Victorian period, it is often seen as a time of strict moral standards when people were very serious and often pretended to have better moral principles than they actually had, marriages were always permanent and sex was never mentioned. This way of life and many of the Victorian ideas may seem strange to us and often rather hard, but the Victorians were contented, and they were satisfied with few pleasures.

In a Victorian middle-class¹ family father, known as Papa, with his beard or side-whiskers, was the Head of the House and the breadwinner, and every-

one, especially the children, treated him with the ¹ greatest respect. His word was law for all the house­hold: his wife, children and servants. He sat at the head of the table and carved the joint of meat at din­ner. The youngest members of the family were not sup­posed to talk unless spoken to by a grown-up.

Mama kept her large family in order, and used a cane, if necessary'. With eight, ten, twelve or more chil- i dren, she was a very busy mother, for there were no vacuum cleaners, washing machines or electrical gad- i gets in the house. Tinned goods and foods prepared in I packets were unknown. Clothes were mostly made at ' home or at a dressmaker’s in the town. After she was thirty, Mama was considered quite middle-aged and often took to wearing a little lace cap in the house.

At the end of the day Papa took family prayers, when everyone, including the servants, knelt down in the dining room or study. He also led the family to church on Sunday. Sunday was a very solemn day and as little work as pos­sible was done. No shops were open and there were certainly no amusements. Everyone put on their best clothes, which were usually stiff and uncomfortable.

On Sunday afternoons the family often went for a walk, but no games were allowed. Even picture books were forbidden on Sundays; Sunday reading includ­ed the Bible and certain books about the saints.

Although there were no radio sets, television, cinemas or motor cars, the Victorians did not find life dull. People worked longer hours, often twelve or four­teen hours a day. Amusements were simple and the family often gathered round the piano to sing the latest popular songs, or entertained each other by reciting or playing the piano. Public readings from Dickens and recitations were popular,

and drew large audiences. In London and the large towns the music halls were not considered quite respectable, but the theatre was sometimes visited.

Children very rarely went to any entertainment, except perhaps to the cir­cus or to a pantomime¹. They had their parties, with many of the games which are still played, like blind man’s buff. Children had plenty of books. Many of the best children’s stories were written in Victorian days: Alice in Wonderland, The Water Babies, Tom Brown's Schooldays, Black Beauty, Little Women and Treasure Island.
