VICTORIAN
El adjetivo Victorian se usa para referirse a la época del reinado de la reina Victoria (1837-1901), así como a la cultura y a las personas de dicha época, en frases como, por ejemplo, they live in a Victorian house o the Victorian Prime Minister, Gladstone. Las actitudes o cualidades llamadas victorianas son las que se consideran características de la época, tales como el interés por la respetabilidad social, una estricta moralidad represiva, la falta de sentido del humor, la intolerancia y la hipocresía. El término Victorian values (valores victorianos) se usa en política para abogar por cualidades positivas como la decencia, la superación personal, el respeto a la autoridad y la importancia de la familia, cualidades que muchos opinan que faltan en la sociedad actual. En Estados Unidos también se utiliza el adjetivo Victorian para describir la arquitectura, muebles, actitudes etc., contemporáneas de la época victoriana en el Reino Unido.
