Edwardian England

Edwardian England, spanning from 1901 to 1910 during King Edward VII’s reign, was a time of relative peace and prosperity for the upper and middle classes, with advances in technology, fashion, and culture. It reflected a society marked by stark social divisions, with opulent lifestyles for the wealthy contrasted by poverty among the working classes. Popular pursuits included leisure activities like sports, theatre, and social clubs. The period also saw increasing tensions due to growing political and social reforms, setting the stage for the upheavals of the 20th century, including world war and social change.
