Victorian and Romantic periods of english literature
The Victorian period formally begins in 1837 (the year Victoria became Queen) and ends in 1901 (the year of her death). As a matter of expediency, these dates are sometimes modified slightly. 1830 is usually considered the end of the Romantic period in Britain, and thus makes a convenient starting date for Victorianism. Similarly, since Queen Victoria’s death occurred so soon in the beginning of a new century, the end of the previous century provides a useful closing date for the period. The nature of Romanticism
As a term to cover the most distinctive writers who flourished in the last years of the 18th century and the first decades of the 19th, “Romantic” is indispensable but also a little misleading: there was no self-styled “Romantic movement” at the time, and the great writers of the period did not call themselves Romantics. Not until August Wilhelm von Schlegel’s Vienna lectures of 1808–09 was a clear distinction established between the “organic,” “plastic” qualities of Romantic art and the “mechanical” character of Classicism.

While in Switzerland with Lord Byron, the group entertained themselves by telling ghost stories, inspiring Mary to write Frankenstein. The novel was published anonymously in 1818. Mary faced many hardships including the deaths of children and her husband Percy drowning. She supported herself through additional writing. Other notable female writers discussed include Carmen Laforet, Edith Wharton, and Emily Bronte who used a male pseudonym to have her works recognized.
