There would, of course, be no "Victorian era" if there hadn't been a Queen Victoria! Until very recently, Queen Victoria held the record for the longest reign in Britain. (The record is now held by Queen Elizabeth II.) The Victorian period was perhaps the first historical "period" to have been referred to by name while it was in process; Victorians themselves spoke of their era, and of themselves, as being "Victorian." And such was the influence of this era in Britain that even America, staunchly unroyalist as it may have been, considers this period of its history (and especially its architecture, designs and fashions) to be at least to some degree "Victorian."
