Discuss the literary of the Victorian age in history of English literature
Answers
Answer:
Victorian literature is literature, mainly written in English, during the reign of Queen Victoria (1837–1901) (the Victorian era). ... While in the preceding Romantic period, poetry had tended to dominate, the novel became the defining literary art form of the Victorian period.
Answer:
The Victorian era was the great age of the English novel—realistic, thickly plotted, crowded with characters, and long. It was the ideal form to describe contemporary life and to entertain the middle class. The novels of Charles Dickens, full to overflowing with drama, humor, and an endless variety of vivid characters and plot complications, nonetheless spare nothing in their portrayal of what urban life was like for all classes. William Makepeace Thackeray is best known for Vanity Fair (1848), which wickedly satirizes hypocrisy and greed. Among the Victorian masters of nonfiction were the great Whig historian Thomas Macaulay and Thomas Carlyle , the historian, social critic, and prophet whose rhetoric thundered through the age. Influential thinkers included John Stuart Mill , the great liberal scholar and philosopher; Thomas Henry Huxley , a scientist and popularizer of Darwinian theory; and John Henry, Cardinal Newman , who wrote earnestly of religion, philosophy, and education.
