I was part of a neo Victorian social club organization where people would learn about Victorian life and dress and speak and do things as they would, compensating for superior modern technology and quality control standards.
Overall, I would say that we had excellent outcomes in our lives, much better than standard for all people.


But when people joined us, they had to read and sign this document.


Things to understand about Victorian life.

#1. Neo-Victorianism, and the original Victorian people are very different societies.
One is a dynasty comprising approximately three generations of people from 1837 to 1901, with the central generation really being the heart and soul of Victorianism and as well as benefitting the most from the golden age of the dynasty.

Neo Victorians are a hippie subculture within modern society and the modern world.


#2. This group is not necessarily legally permitted to replicate, nor does it aim to advocate nor to replicate the inequalities in Western society existing during the reign of Queen Victoria, House of Hanover.
As doing so would rightfully qualify our group as a hate group.

#3.As a group that focuses on the good things about Victorian society and with our modern sensibilities, what we are doing is romanticism and not historically accurate,
However there are many things regarding the good that are historically accurate about how the people lived.

#4. Victorian people often died horrible deaths, and from events that one today would not necessarily see as deadly, but certainly was given the realities of Victorian technology, how accident prone the tasks were and Victorian medical technology.

Be extremely diligent and very careful using modern equivalency to Victorian technology, as the accidents can and will be the same and could always produce the same outcome, in fact possibly worse.

That doesn't sound very Victorian...
