Victorian England

Victorian England The Victorian era, from the coronation of Queen Victoria in 1837 until her death in 1901, was an era of several unsettling social developments that agitate writers more than than ever before to take positions on the warm issues animating the rest of society.

Thus, although romantic forms of expression in come and prose continued to dominate slope literature throughout more than of the century, the attention of many writers was directed, sometimes passionately, to such issues as the harvest-tide of English democracy, the education of the masses, the progress of industrial enterp resur rect and the subsequent rise of a materialistic philosophy, and the plight of the newly change worker. In addition, the unsettling of religious belief by new advances in science, specially the theory of evolution and the historical study of the Bible, pull some other writers away from the immemorial subjects of literature into considerations of problems of faith and truth.
