The Victorian Period- English Literature
The Victorian Period lasted from 1830 to 1901. Some key events included Victoria becoming Queen in 1837, the Irish potato famine in 1844, and Darwin publishing Origin of Species in 1859. London's population expanded greatly during this time. Religiously there was debate between evangelical, high church, and broad church movements. Literature flourished with works by Dickens, the Bronte sisters, Eliot, and Hardy. Victorian poetry was influenced by Tennyson, Browning, and Arnold. Theater also thrived during this period.
'Newton's law'- poem by Nandita Das
The document summarizes a poem about a student who is called on by their teacher to explain Newton's Law of Gravity but doesn't know the answer. When put on the spot, the student begins trembling with fear and stumbles over their words, accidentally saying "Gravity" and then falling off the stage to the class' laughter. The teacher acknowledges they demonstrated gravity, though with levity. The poem encourages listening in class rather than letting one's mind wander. It provides context on the poet Nandita Das and asks discussion questions about the poem.
