This document summarizes the key characteristics of Victorian literature. It introduces the Victorian era as the period between 1820 and 1914 following the Romantic age. Some of the major characteristics discussed include an emphasis on morality in literature as writers aimed to instruct society, a conflict between religion and new scientific theories like Darwin's theory of evolution, major intellectual developments in fields like photography and technology, the expansion of education especially for women, and the rapid industrialization and growth of steam power during this time period of Queen Victoria's reign.
The Victorian Age from 1837 to 1901 in England was a period of great industrial development, innovation, and expansion of the British Empire. Key developments included the rise of steam power, advances in electricity and infrastructure like gas lighting and postal systems. The British Empire grew significantly to cover one-fifth of the Earth's surface ruled by Queen Victoria. However, this progress came at the expense of many poor workers and colonized people. Social reforms attempted to address issues like sanitation, child labor, education, and voting rights, but Victorian society remained full of contradictions between ideals of morality and scientific advancement versus widespread poverty and hypocrisy.
The Victorian novel emerged as a new literary genre in the 1800s. Novels were first published in installments in periodicals, which made them affordable and accessible to masses. Victorian novels portrayed realistic depictions of contemporary society and examined characters' inner lives. Popular genres included novels of manners, social problem novels, and sensation novels. Throughout the Victorian period, novels evolved from didactic works that aimed to instruct readers, to more realistic and critical works that questioned societal norms and portrayed characters as alienated and powerless. Realism and naturalism became influential styles as novels adopted a more objective, scientific approach to literature.
Victorian literature refers to works written during Queen Victoria's reign from 1837 to 1901. It was a period of transition between Romanticism and 20th century literature. Common themes included critiques of industrialization and the loss of rural life, as well as conflicts between classes and women's rights. Morality was emphasized through stories rewarding virtue and punishing vice. Major genres included novels, poetry, theater, and children's literature. Famous authors of this era included the Brontë sisters, Charles Dickens, Alfred Lord Tennyson, and Oscar Wilde. New genres like detective fiction and science fiction also emerged during this time.
Virginia Woolf was a prominent English writer and central figure of the Bloomsbury Group. She was born in London in 1882 to Leslie Stephen, a man of letters, and Julia Duckworth Stephen. Woolf had a sketchy education but was allowed access to her father's library, determining from a young age to become a writer. She suffered from mental illness throughout her life and died by suicide in 1941. Woolf wrote many novels and essays that explored modernist themes through stream-of-consciousness narrative, including Mrs. Dalloway, To the Lighthouse, and A Room of One's Own.

Britain's economy grew through industrialization and international trade, making it the wealthiest nation. However, many workers lived in poverty and squalor. The Chartist movement advocated for political reforms like universal male suffrage, but its demands took decades to be implemented.
