Historical Context

The Victorian Era, spanning the duration of Queen Victoria's rule from 1837 - 1901, is characterized by the expanding horizons of education and literacy, as well as by an increased desire of the people to question religion and politics. During this time period, publications such as Marx and Engles' Communist Manifesto in 1848 and Darwin's Origin of the Species in 1859, served as catalysts for political and religious controversy. These new notions of government and science signaled a turn from the idealism of the Romantics to a more empirical worldview. The Victorian era also marks a time of great economic growth, technological discovery, and industrialization. Many writers reacted to both the wonders of this Industrial Revolution as well as to the troubles of an industrialized society. Also during the Victorian Era, the influence of literature became more prevalent in society as reading evolved into a social pastime indicated by the increasing literacy rate. At the era's beginning in 1837, it is estimated that approximately half of the adult male population was literate to a certain degree. Because of the new practices, compulsory education and technological advances in printing resulting in widely available reading materials, standard literacy was more or less universal by the end of the century (Greenblatt 993).

Victorian Literature

As reading became less of a privilege of the wealthy and more of a pastime of the common British citizen, publications such as periodicals flourished. These magazines provided monthly installments of news articles, satiric essays, poetry and fiction. These serial publications enabled many authors to easily share their work with the public and helped launch the careers of prominent Victorian writers such as Dickens, Eliot, Tennyson, and the Brownings (Norton). Because literature was an accessible and pervasive part of Victorian society, studying it is crucial in understanding the attitudes and concerns of the people who lived during this era. Much of the writing during this time was a reaction to the rapidly changing notions of science, morality, and society. Victorian writers also reacted to the writings of previous generations. George Landow argues that the Victorians wanted to escape what they saw as 'the excessive subjectivity of the Romantics' while at the same time keeping their "individuality, originality, intensity, and, above all, sincerity." Thus Victorian literature tries to combine the use of Romantic subjectivity(~1798-1830) with the objectivity of the Augustans (~1660-1798). Landow argues that the birth of the dramatic monologue and autobiographical fiction were used to bring personal experiences to literature without the author seeming self-obsessed.

The Victorian Novel

The novel could be considered one facet of the Victorians' literary exploration. It continued to develop and eventually became the prominent medium for written expression. In the framework of the novel, realism emerged as a notable literary characteristic of the period and showcased this combination of Romantic subjectivity and Augustan objectivity. In her work Adam Bede, George Eliot writes, "let us have men ready to give the loving pains of a life to the faithful representing of commonplace things." As exemplified in this quotation, Eliot, and other realist writers like Dickens, held the belief that the purpose of literature should be to accurately mirror the world and portray realistic scenes with complex, life-like characters. This movement illustrates the return to Augustan objectivity through the use of empiricism and observation of the surrounding world.(Landow) Yet, the influence of the Romantic movement on Victorian writers is seen though the style in which they present these observations.

Victorian Poetry

While the novel was the dominant form of literature during the Victorian era, poets continued to experiment with style and methods of story-telling in their poems. Examples of this experimentation include long narrative poems (epic poems) and the dramatic monologue as seen primarily in the writing of Robert Browning. Alfred Lord Tennyson, England's poet laureate for a majority of the Victorian age, exemplified poetry of this era with his use of the dramatic monologue, a more lyrical style and a poetic voice that can be described as "picturesque" due to his use of description and mood-creating imagery. Two other minor movements, the Pre-Raphaelites (1848-1860) and the Aestheticism and Decadence movement (1880-1900), developed in relation to one another during the Victorian era. The first developed when the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood wanted to create art for the modern age by practicing techniques of precision and simplicity in their written work. The movement of Aestheticism and Decadence began as a reaction to the Pre-Raphaelites. The members of this second movement believe, unlike the Pre-Raphaelites, that literature and poetry should be more reflective. This movement influenced poets such as Yeats and Hopkins. (Landow).

Historical events have helped many acknowledge other people's mistakes/successes they made at that time and learn from them.

James Cook was a British naval captain, navigator and explorer that explored the ocean to help astronomers by observing Venus passing through the earth and the sun, as this would help the astronomers estimate and then properly calculate the distance of the sun from the earth. Aside from the task he was given, James also wanted to find the southern continent, which is Australia.

In 1707, Scotland agreed to formally join with England and Wales to form the Kingdom of Great Britain. When formed, it had much power at its time. Because of its dominance over other countries/states, some of its major advantages include agricultural changes, a big population increase, better economic stats, new ideas and a good scientific interest, a supportive government, and a trade network with numerous colonies.

One more topic is the war of the Spanish succession, commonly known as the 'first world war of modern times'. It was taken place in major campaigns fought in Spain, Italy, and Germany, as well as some battles at sea. It was started by the death of Habsburg King Charles II of Spain in 1700. After many years of battling, Britain and its allies allowed Phillip of Anjou (Phillip V) to become the new founder/king of the Bourbon dynasty in Spain.
