Talk given by drunk, describing Victorian streets after dark? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

gaslit

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'victorian streets after dark?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'talk given by drunk' is the wordplay.
'talk' becomes 'gas' (gas can mean to chat).
'given by' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'drunk' becomes 'lit' (I've seen this in another clue).
'gas'+'lit'='GASLIT'

'describing' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for gaslit that I've seen is " Illuminated by pre-electric technology".)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
