The Edwardians

"The Edwardians" refers to the period during King Edward VII's reign in the United Kingdom, from 1901 to 1910. It was a time marked by social change, technological innovation, and a blend of tradition and modernity. The era saw advances in science, art, and fashion, as well as shifts in social hierarchies. It was somewhat more relaxed compared to the Victorian era, with greater focus on leisure and sophistication. Politically, it maintained stability, but underlying tensions eventually led to significant events like World War I. Overall, the Edwardian period signifies a transition from Victorian values toward the modern 20th century.
