Introduction about Elizabethan age
It has been pretty frequently observed that the phrase,
Elizabethan literature,does not by any means cannot
literature produced in Queen Elizabeth reign and in that
reign only Indeed it means nothing of the kind A great deal
of the most characteristics Elizabethan literature was
written in the reigns of James I every one of Shakespeare
great tragedies was written after the Queen's death.
Elizabethan age was extremely complex; further that it's
literature is the greatest our country has produced both
phrase are quite true. But if we go on to Shakespeare as a '
golden age’.

Introduction about Victorian era
Victorians were in love with natural history.
David Allen describe their passion as a series
of crazes over geology, over Shelly and over
ferns as in pteridomania to cite just a few
example,Lann Merrill,on the other
hand,delineates a more comprehensive
cultural romance one extending over many
years. The romance with nature certainly cut
across class and gender barriers stonecutter
Hugh Miller could lose himself. Romance
passion and love are,I believe,the right words
here,and not just fanciful exaggerations.
5. Merrill's Book,The Romance of Victorian
Natural History, deliberately drawes it's
romantic title From those of Victorian books
themselves:Louisa Anne Meredith 1836
The Romance of Nature:or the flower season
Illustrated and Philip Henry Gosses The
Romance of Natural History (1860) to Name

Religious life and culture in Victorian era
Victorian England was not”religious”taken as whole,
Victorian literature makes this obvious by the time one
reaches George Meredith and Henry James.There was
a”religious England”within the larger society but
institutionalized Christianity remained fixed in
antimodernist positions, from which the liberal
Protestants failed to lure his contemporary on the
continent, similar attitudes had more obvious political
resist.
👉 Victorian society was organized hierarchically whiles
race, religion,regoin and occupation aspects of identity and
main organizing principles of Victorian society were
gender and class.
10. Elizabethan England was a society based on
religious nationalism that became a success
under the reign of Queen Elizabeth also
serving as an outlet for Shakespeare and his
creative work.
As we can see during the Victorian era many
changes took place, women were able to vote
work and have a better education The
growth of population caused for more jobs to
be open and eventually child labor was
vanished.
