Description:

British literature of the 19th century reveals the excitement - and the struggle - of learning to live in a world of rapid technological advances. During this period, England led the world in industrial development, in urbanization, and in the possibilities and disruptions brought on by these changes. Writers of the Victorian period - novelists like Charles Dickens and George Eliot, poets like Tennyson and Browning - eagerly examined and portrayed the great new world. They investigated the changes in city and country life, political and religious upheavals (particularly the clash of religion and science), and the development of a Victorian "attitude" about respectability and values. Presents some of the great authors and works that mark this remarkable period.
