2. There was a revolution in commercial enterprise, due to the great
increase of available markets, and, as a result of this, an immense
advance in the use of mechanical devices.
During Victorian Age, England travelled a path to progress and
prosperity. It was a time of vigor and variety, of stability and power.
In this era we can see the appalling social conditions of the new
industrial cities, the squalid slums, and the exploitation of cheap
labour the painful fight by the enlightened few to introduce social
legislation

4. He reflects the tremendous growth of interest in
science during the Victorian age. Huxley did great
service in making science understandable to the
masses. At the time when England was split into
two camps over the theory of evolution, Huxley
become the great defender and popularizer of
Darwin’s The origin of species. Huxley argued for
greater freedom of research and education so that
truth could be known.
His Works are : 1. Evidence on Man's Place in Nature
2. Brave New World

5. He began to have personal and
religious doubts. In a series of
poems which, during
seventeen years, recorded the
stages of his grief, doubt,
resignation, and finally faith.
He wrote his masterpiece
published in 1850 as in
memoriam. The immediate
success of his work and his
award of a pension and
appointment as poet laureate.
His Work are : In
Memoriam , The
Princess, The Passing
of Arthur, Ulysses and
Tithonus

6. The browning are perhaps the most famous
couple in English literature. Robert browning is
now recognized as the greater poet of the two,
but before Elizabeth and Robert met, she was
better known than he. His first work of any
importance is Pauline(1833), an introspective
poem, which shows very strongly the influence
of Shelley, whom, at this period, browning held
in great reverence. Paracelsus (1835), the story of
the hero’s unquenchable thirst for that breadth
of knowledge which is beyond the grasp of one
man, brings to the fore browning’s predominant
ideas—that a life without love must be a failure,
and that god is working all things to end beyond
human divining.

7. He lived to enjoy a reputation that was
unexampled, surpassing even than that
of Scottish novelist. He varied his work
with much travelling—among other
places to America (1842), to Italy
(1844), to Switzerland (1846), and again
to America (1859). His popularity was
exploited in journalism, for he edited
the daily news (1846), and founded
household word (1849) and all the year
round (1859). His famous literary work
are Oliver twist (1837),Nicholas
nickleby (1838), a christmas carol
(1843) and Dombey and son (1846),
bleak house (1852), hard times (1854) a
tale of two cities (1859) and great
expectations (1860).

The age of Victoria (1837-1901) approaches our own so closely that it is
still difficult to form an accurate judgment of its history or literature. In a
review of the history of the age we noted three factors, democracy,
science, imperialism, which have profoundly influenced English letters
from 1850 to the present time.
Victorian literature includes :
The life and works of the two greater poets of the age, Tennyson and
Browning.
The work of Elizabeth Barrett, Matthew Arnold, Rossetti, Morris and
Swinburne, who were selected from the two hundred representive poets
of the period.
The life and the chief works of the major novelists, Dickens, Thackeray
and George Eliot.
A review of some other novelists of the age, the Brontë Sisters, Mrs.
Gaskell, Anthony Trollope, Blackmore, Kingsley, Meredith, Hardy and
Stevenson.
The typical essayists and historians, Macaulay, Carlyle, Ruskin, with a
review of other typical groups of writers in the fields of religion, history
and science.
