VICTORIAN AGE Victorian literature was mostly characterised by prose and there is a reason for this. It is connected with the enormous growth of middle class during the 19 century. Tho and middle class were almost literate people but of course they did not belong to the very high upper class, so they exalted the family connections and family relationship and prose writers during the and we can say we can focus on the importance of connections between the riders and the readers. There was really a strong connection among them. WHY DID THIS HAPPEN? Because the Victorian novelists were able to be the spokesman of middle class, the representatives middle class Anne people they understood their needs they could really understand their needs and could reflect what they wanted to read about another important element is that novels were often right sorry read in family they were a family reunion of occasions reading novels also meant this and that was as I already said as a deep communion of interests between readers and right and writers readers often land borrowed books from circulating libraries which were very much popular during the Victorian age novels were often published originally they we’re not published in books but in instalments that means seriously on newspapers and magazines so they create this form of a publication created a very important expectations on the part of the readers on the other side the riders had to fulfil the readers expectations otherwise they influence affected even the selling of the periodicals and magazines on which they published their novels a very important group of novelists were worst characters I characterised by novelists who wrote about the condition of lies in England during the Victorian age a source of humanitarian size of rider side of riders many critics have named this part as the condition of England novel because and this novelist among whom the most important is all or better the most popular for us is a Childs Dickens this novel is the condition of England novelists on often provoke a sense of guilt in the readers about their own material wealth Anne and their focus was most on the individual on family on the condition of law and they focus it very often on difficult very difficult to condition some lies for example life of poor people life in Word houses in orphanage lies of the outcast and this is mostly the an interest in Dickens in Dickens novels as far as the characters they were realistic every reader could easily identify uh could easily identify sorry with the characters in the stories we can call them next door characters little sooner the impersonality delaporte cantonal they were diggins mostly was interested the in middle and lower classes conditions of life and he was always on the side of the poor and mostly is easy into it was interested the in children and also in their growth and in there in any changes in their lives as in the case of Oliver Twist twist means cambiamento knows Walter and this is the real situation of Oliver as far as the settings it is always in the city and London is the most important setting in Dickens novels contemporary in their contemporary lies and also mostly as far as poor people lives is concerned in the server herbs in the so called mushroom towns in the sort of dormitories or dorms as a short form around the the factories the narrator is often omniscient third first or third person and all Victorian novels mostly the condition of England and novel have got a moral that often corresponds to the puritan one there is always in life there is a retribution there is a punishment for what you have done. This is a general introduction to Victorian age as you can see a very long period that started with the accession on the throne of Queen Victoria in 1837 end ended with their death in 19 zero one so it covers all the 19 century takes its name of from the queen Queen Victoria who was a very important lady and until two or three years ago pears was the longest reign she has been surpassed by Queen Elizabeth the second just a couple of years ago Victoria ascended the throne when she was only 18 so she was very young and she was the niece of queen of king William the 4th who had died childless and died with no legitimate children fatty add 10 about 10 illegitimate children so they were not they had no right to the throne as she in 1840 so just three years after araac session on that row she married the Prince Albert Saks coburg go down and they were a very they established a very important family type they had nine children and we can say that for all the time it was until his death Prince Albert was the most important supporter and councillor of Queen Victoria you can imagine he died in 1860 eighteen 61 and for the remaining 40 years she mourned that she always were black dresses and she almost retired from the official and public events leaving the government leaving public offices in the in the ends of primeminister’s and important personality political personality so the Victorian age covers a very long period a very long and very important period for Lee for English history and for English society because it was the period in which the empire why don’t it was the dysentary in which middle class mostly made up of a merchant and traders exploded we can say because discovering Newlands founding new colonies all over the world meant to get row materials that could be manufactured by a very well industrialising country as England was and that those product could be sold all over the world it was a period of a very important reforms 1832 so five years before the Queen Victoria accession on the throne was passed the first reform bill the referendum bills passed the in the Victorian age where three and they enlarged widening extended the right to vote and it was in set the most important sorry it was established the underground railway railway system it was improved the railway it was made the first of fishel transfer voyage by a transatlantic line to from England to njc it was made in 1851 the great exhibition and Prince Albert was in charge of it the great exhibition was the exhibition of scientific progress made by England to other crowned other countries in the world and it was held in Crystal Palace and the one in charge was Prince Albert there was an upgrade of the railway line and so apparently it looks like being a very Syrian. It was not that way that’s why we usually talk about Victorian compromise Victorian compromise was the underlines the so called that dddddd in many contradictions of Victorian age that is to say it under late points out the coexistence of a very good quality lifestyle of merchants of middle class the important the greater and greater importance of middle class and on the other side there put the very poor conditions of allies of the poor people of course a lot of
