The years of self confidence
1) In the 19th century, Britain underwent significant political, economic, and social changes as it industrialized and expanded its global empire.
2) The monarchy adapted to increasing democracy, with Queen Victoria becoming popular as she shared details of her private life and family values with the public.
3) As industrialization grew, regional economic disparities emerged within Britain between industrialized areas and the peripheries of Scotland, Wales, and Ireland, with the Irish population declining dramatically due to famine and emigration.

Characteristics of Victorian literature ....
The document is a paper on Victorian literature submitted to MKBU's Department of English. It discusses the key characteristics of Victorian literature, including an emphasis on morality, the impact of Darwin's theory of evolution causing a revolt against religion, and major intellectual developments in science and education during this time period. The literature reflected a desire to convey moral messages to readers and expose truths about human life, as seen in works like George Eliot's The Mill on the Floss. It was a time of conflict between religion and new scientific theories, as well as rapid technological change and industrialization influenced by the Industrial Revolution.
Fabian society
The Fabian Society was a British political organization founded in 1884 that aimed to gradually transition Britain into a socialist society through peaceful and democratic means. It was composed of middle class intellectuals like Sidney and Beatrice Webb, George Bernard Shaw, and H.G. Wells. The Fabians believed that competitive capitalism was no longer useful, a careful transition to socialism was necessary and practical, and that unlimited democracy in politics coupled with socialism in economics was needed. They promoted ideals like greater equality, collective action, accountable democracy, human rights, and sustainable international cooperation.
Romantic age
The romantic period was a reaction against industrialization and rationalism, emphasizing emotion and individualism. Key English romantic writers included Wordsworth, Coleridge, Keats, Byron, and Shelley. The French Revolution inspired hopes for liberty, equality, and fraternity but also led to war with France. Economically, the Industrial Revolution created wealth but also unemployment and poverty. Reform was needed to address unjust laws, child labor, voting rights, and education. Overall the document provides social and political context for the romantic period in England, focusing on the impacts of the French Revolution, Industrial Revolution, and subsequent reforms.
Life Industrial Revolution
During the Industrial Revolution in Britain:
1. Workers had long hours in factories with little free time for leisure activities.
2. Sports like football started to develop as a way for workers to relax during their limited free time.
3. The promotion of sports was also seen as a way to ensure workers remained physically able to perform demanding factory jobs.
Industrial Revolution
The Industrial Revolution led to the development of modern football in several ways:
1) Long workdays in factories left little free time for recreation, but sports were promoted by authorities to ensure workers remained physically able to perform jobs.
2) New laws in the 1850s limited child labor and established weekends, creating more leisure time.
3) There were calls to fund public open spaces and healthy activities to improve workers' lives and maintain industrial progress.
4) Traditional violent folk football evolved into an organized sport played according to rules on designated fields, engaging workers in constructive recreation.
Jack the ripper project
Here are the key details about the man seen with Long Liz Stride shortly before her murder:
- He was described as a young man, about 28 years old.
- He was wearing a dark coat and carrying a hard deerstalker hat.
- He was carrying a small parcel wrapped in newspaper that was approximately 6 inches high and 18 inches long.
Unfortunately the police constable who witnessed them did not get a good look at the man's face and there are no other reported sightings of this man. The contents of the parcel he was carrying were never determined. This man remains an important potential suspect or witness, as he was one of the last known people to be seen with Long Liz Stride shortly

Introduction to the victorian Exp sl
This document provides historical context about the Victorian period in Britain from 1837-1901. It describes the immense poverty and poor living/working conditions during the early Victorian period of industrialization. The mid-Victorian period from 1848-1870 saw Britain's Golden Age with the peak of the British Empire and advances in science. The late Victorian period from 1870-1901 involved a decline of the empire and fears of decay as art/literature moved away from "stuffy" Victorian styles and values. The document outlines the major economic, social, and political developments that characterized these periods of the Victorian era in Britain.
19th england
The 19th century in England saw major economic, industrial, social, and cultural changes. Economically, England adopted free trade and its foreign trade and empire expanded greatly. The Second Industrial Revolution brought new technologies like railroads, machinery, engines, and telecommunications. Society became more urbanized and individualistic, and women's rights began advancing. Education grew with new laws requiring schooling for children. Culturally, Romanticism influenced art, literature flourished with writers like Dickens and Eliot, and Darwin and Freud transformed scientific thought.
APLOUSD CH 25
By the late 19th century, many Americans were moving to cities drawn by new industrial jobs. Rapid urbanization led to overcrowded living conditions, inadequate infrastructure, and public health issues. Between 1870 and 1890, the US population doubled and the population of cities tripled. By 1900, 40% of Americans lived in cities of over 2500 people, with New York, Philadelphia, and Chicago each surpassing 1 million residents. Immigrants, especially those from southern and eastern Europe, integrated less easily than earlier groups and faced nativist backlash. Reformers worked to address urban problems and help immigrants through settlement houses, social programs, and advocacy for workers' rights.
Victorian Era
The document discusses Victorian literature during the reign of Queen Victoria from 1837 to 1901. It provides context on the growth of the British Empire, the Industrial Revolution, and changing social conditions including urbanization and the role of women. Major literary genres of this period are described, including the rise of the novel, poetry, and drama. Key authors like Charles Dickens, the Brontë sisters, Alfred Lord Tennyson, and Oscar Wilde are mentioned in relation to their contributions to Victorian literature.
The North
The document summarizes the social and economic changes that occurred in the Northern United States during the first half of the 19th century, including the rise of industrial capitalism, urbanization, and conflicts around labor. Key developments were the growth of factory industries, expansion of transportation via railroads, rise of new business organizations, influx of immigrant workers, formation of labor unions, and social unrest around issues of class, ethnicity, and slavery that foreshadowed the coming of the Civil War.
Pop
The document discusses the roots of pop art in post-World War 2 Britain and America. It explores the social, political and economic changes of the time including the rise of mass consumerism, expanding education, and new technologies. This led artists like Richard Hamilton to embrace popular culture and commercial imagery in their work. British pop art had an ambivalent relationship with consumerism and Americana, simultaneously attracted and skeptical. American pop art was more avant-garde, taking sides with the popular against elitist culture. Artists like Andy Warhol used commercial techniques and portrayed themselves as anti-modern heroes.

Early National Period & North
During the Early National Period (1800-1830), several factors helped unite the growing United States, including improvements in transportation infrastructure and Henry Clay's American System. Better roads, canals like the Erie Canal, and railroads made transporting goods and settlers moving westward more efficient. Clay's plan aimed to further strengthen national unity through investments in transportation, establishing a protective tariff, and recreating the national bank. The document also discusses early industrialization, urbanization, society, and immigration trends in the Northern states during this period.
Push and Pull Factors
Southern and Eastern Europe were the primary sources of new immigrants to America at the turn of the 20th century. These immigrants faced both push factors like poverty, unemployment and famine in their home countries, as well as pull factors like employment opportunities and the idea of America as a land of opportunity. They faced difficult journeys and conditions upon arrival, with many settling in ethnic neighborhoods in cities. However, nativist groups opposed the new immigrants and Congress passed laws in the 1920s limiting immigration. The large influx of immigrants contributed to rapid urbanization and industrialization in the United States.

rebellion of 1837
We have given this Charivari
Because it is our right.
(from a Basque popular play)'
For those interested in the connections between politics and popular culture, the charivari
holds a peculiar fascination. Originally an aggressive ritual directed against marital
deviants, the charivari came in France to be used for overtly political purposes. 'The
charivari', Charles Tilly has observed, 'deserves special attention because it illustrates the
displacement of an established form of collective action from its home territory to new
ground; during the first half of the nineteenth century French people often used the
charivari and related routines to state positions on national politics.'2 But the French were
not the only people who deployed the charivari form for political purposes in the first half
of the nineteenth century; a broadly similar development occurred at about the same time
in the former French colony of Canada. Indeed, the transition was much more abrupt in
North America than in Europe. The French-Canadian charivari had long been notable for
its traditionalism as to form, object and occasion, but suddenly in I837, when Lower
Canada (now the province of Quebec) was rocked by a revolutionary upheaval, this
folkloric ritual made a dramatic appearance as an important vehicle for mobilizing the

The Victorian Age (1830-1890) in England was a time of both material developments and intellectual/literary changes. It was a largely peaceful era characterized by industrial expansion, which led to both economic growth and social problems. Intellectually, there were major advances in science and political/social thought. In literature, works reflected both Victorian morality and a growing revolt against conventions. Writers were influenced by new ideas in science, religion, and politics. Expanding education created a large new reading public and boosted novel production. While no supreme writer emerged, the literary output and intellectual horizons of the Victorian Age were extensive.
