To the Victorian Era
I recently wrote several papers on Victorian Literary Characteristics, Trends in Victorian Society, and a comparison of the famed Sherlock Holmes novels to the society they were supposed to have reflected - again Victorian. All these were submitted along with an in-class presentation on Victorian society to my OAC English class. Needless to say, I exhausted the web and my local library trying to find interesting topics to cover. Here is a list of the online resources I found.
Victorian culture and history from Princeton University's webpage
The Victorian Web (in other words, the bible of online Victorian information)
Victorian Literature Overview
This is also a part of the Victorian Web, but a quicker link to the facts on the literary aspects. There is a timeline of British literature, and articles on popular literary techniques and genres.
The Internet Modern History Sourcebook: 19th Century Britain
Victoriana.com: A Victorian Marketplace
This is also a good spot to find interesting articles on the Victorian's everyday life.

God Save the Queen,
God Save our gracious Queen,
Long live our noble Queen,
God Save the Queen:
Send her victorious,
Happy and glorious,
Long to reign over us:
God Save the Queen.
O Lord our God arise,
Scatter her enemies,
And make them fall:
Confound their politics,
Frustrate their knavish tricks,
On Thee our hopes we fix:
God save us all.
Thy choicest gifts in store,
On her be pleased to pour,
Long may she reign:
May she defend our laws,
And ever give us cause,
To sing with heart and voice,
God Save the Queen.
