The Georgian Era The Georgian Era signified a transition from rationalism to romanticism, and the century was marked by profound social, mercantile and religious transformations within the British Empire, paving the way for the distinctive, modern culture of the Victorian Era.  This era saw the influence of the Enlightenment spread across the Atlantic, witnessed political and social reforms, significant achievements in art and literature, and observed the rise of the world's first industrialized nation, all amid confrontations with British adversaries like George Washington and Napoleon Bonaparte.
