The Edwardian Era (1901-1914)
The Edwardian Period began in 1901 with Queen Victoria’s death. King Edward VII took the throne and reigned until his death in 1910. The remainder years are pre World War I.
And aside from the typical idyllic garden parties seen in period dramas, the Edwardian Period has a few historic moments in history that definitely stands out as well. Think Women’s Suffrage and Titanic. Basically, if you love season one of Downton Abbey, Titanic, or Road to Avonlea, then the Edwardian Period just may be for you!
