 The Victorian Era was hugely dominated by powerful
 themes in the rise of the novel; the way books were written
 and published were very much in accordance to society at
 the time. In fact, many of the themes written of were a
 normal part of society which the writers were either using
 as a tool to make us question its morality or to highlight the
 social inequality as a point for effective and often tragic
 storytelling. Charles Dickens remains to this day the most
 widely read author of the Victorian Era, but many classics
 have risen from other influential authors of the
 time, novels treasured still to this very day such as
 ‘Wuthering Heights’, ‘Tess of the D’Urbervilles’ and ‘Vanity
 Fair’.
 The Bronte sisters had to publicise their
 novels under a series of pseudonyms:
 Currer, Ellis and Acton Bell. This
 highlights how society was still very
 much split into the typically traditional
 male and female roles, something which
 was touched on in their literature, a good
 example of this would be Charlotte
 Bronte’s ‘Jane Eyre’ which is very much
 dictated by the power of men over
 women in various situations such as
 inheritance and in the workplace.
 Victorian Literature was not just
 influenced by society, however; it was
 also influenced heavily by other
 literature and the political standpoints
 at the time. Charles Dickens included
 references to politics within his writings
 and was also a great rival with William
 Thackeray. Shakespeare continued to be
 an influence to many writers in the
 Victorian period, his romantic air and
 talents for entwining this with nature
 inspired many novelists of the time.
