Our "Victorian People" section currently offers articles on over 750 noteworthy Victorians. Use the A-Z list below to locate a specific individual. The link for each name will take you to the topical page on which that individual is listed (e.g., "artists," "adventurers," "statesmen," "MPs," etc.) Many individuals are listed under more than one category, but each listing includes links to all the articles in our archive for that person. See our Historical A-Z List for Victorian articles on historic (i.e., pre-Victorian) individuals, and the Royalty section for articles on Victorian and pre-Victorian royalty in Britain and around the world. (The list below does not include individuals included in general "round-up" articles.)
