The Golden age and the transformation of a new nation

from the 1830s to the early 1900s

The golden age of the British empire

Characterised by the reign of Queen Victoria.

Considered by some as the golden age of literature, especially for British novels.

Class-based society, a growing number of people able to vote, a growing state and economy, Britain's status as the most powerful empire in the world.

The Victorian society was hierarchical in nature, with the two main aspects taken into account being gender and class.

Gender was determinative to almost every aspect of an individual's potential and character. That is to say, both men and women had their set of roles that they had to play, such as men participating in politics, belonging in the public sphere and being less religious and moral than women, who in turn had to stay at home, run the household and raise the children, as well as remain pure and good at heart. The ideology was influential throughout all classes, even if the working-class couldn't even begin to dream to survive only on a single male wage.

Class was both economic and cultural and encompassed income, occupation, education, family structure, sexual behaviour, politics and leisure activities. Society was subtracted into three main classes, the working-class, the middle-class and the wealthy, upper class. The working class were the most numerous , with an entirely different culture than both middle and upper, distinct in its locality and values. The middle class grew rapidly in the 19th century and they were normally the moral leaders of society. And finally the wealthy, upper class was the least in numbers , however they controlled most of the empire. They had titles, wealth and land and were the driving force behind most of Britain's politics.

Darwinism during the Victorian period refers to the scientific theory of evolution by natural selection proposed by Charles Darwin in his book "On the Origin of Species" published in 1859. It challenged the prevailing religious beliefs about the creation of life and the diversity of species, and caused significant controversy and debate in Victorian society. The theory of Darwinism had wide-ranging impacts on many fields, including biology, philosophy, and politics, and its influence can still be felt today.

Industrialization during the Victorian period refers to the period of rapid industrial growth and technological advancement that occurred in Britain during the 18th and 19th centuries. It led to the development of new manufacturing processes, machinery, and transportation systems, which transformed the economy and society.

Marxism, on the other hand, refers to the political, social, and economic theories developed by German philosopher Karl Marx and his collaborator Friedrich Engels in the mid-19th century.

During the Victorian period, industrialization and the rise of capitalism provided a backdrop for the development of Marxist thought, as social and economic inequalities became increasingly visible. Marxism influenced many social and political movements of the time, and continues to be a significant political and philosophical force today.

The Transformation of America

During this period, America experienced a surge of industrialization, urbanization, and westward expansion.

The country was also deeply divided over issues like slavery, leading to the Civil War from 1861 to 1865.

After the war, America saw the period of Reconstruction, which aimed to rebuild the South and ensure civil rights for African Americans.

1901: President William McKinley was assassinated, and Vice President Theodore Roosevelt became the 26th President of the United States, marking the end of the Victorian era in America

The Gold Rush refers to a period of rapid migration and settlement that occurred in California in the mid-19th century, after the discovery of gold in 1848. It led to a massive influx of people from all over the world seeking to strike it rich and make their fortune.

It helped develop new mining techniques, transportation systems, and industries, which helped to fuel the growth of the American economy. However, it also led to social and environmental problems, including the displacement and mistreatment of Native American populations, the degradation of the environment through mining activities, and the exploitation of laborers.

The Gilded Age was a period in American history, roughly spanning from the 1870s to the 1900s, characterized by rapid economic growth, industrialization, and technological advancement. It was marked by the rise of the Robber Barons, wealthy industrialists who amassed vast fortunes through monopolies and often unethical business practices. The period saw significant social and political changes, including the growth of labour unions and the emergence of progressive movements calling for reform.

He was a prominent figure in the intellectual circles of his time and was friends with many notable writers and thinkers, including Henry James, H.G. Wells, and Theodore Roosevelt.

Emily Dickinson was an American poet born on December 10, 1830, in Amherst, Massachusetts.

She is now widely considered one of the most important and influential poets in American literature, but during her lifetime, her work was largely unknown.

She wrote nearly 1,800 poems, many of which explore themes of death, nature, love, and spirituality.

After Dickinson's death in 1886, her sister discovered her collection of poems and worked to have them published.

Today, Dickinson's poetry is celebrated for its originality, depth, and unique style.

Exceptional Works of Literature

Important Genres of the Period

The novel genre dominated the period, usually having a central moral lesson and a thick plot . Serialization was also often seen in this time, as it was not unusual for novels to be published in separate parts in newspapers and magazines.

These works often reflected the cultural and social changes of the era, and provided insights into the lives of individuals from different backgrounds and walks of life.

Important Genres of the Period

Poetry was the second most popular genre, characterised by being less subjective and with more realistic themes , as well as being long and narrative in nature.

Important Genres of the Period

Drama was often characterized by a focus on realism and naturalism, with plays that sought to accurately depict contemporary society and its problems.

George Bernard Shaw was a prolific playwright during the Victorian and Edwardian eras. His plays often tackled social issues and political themes, and were characterized by witty dialogue and sharp satire. Some of his most famous works include "Pygmalion," which later inspired the musical "My Fair Lady," "Man and Superman," and "Saint Joan."

Oscar Wilde was a celebrated playwright and wit of the Victorian era, known for his clever and satirical plays. His works often explored themes of love, sexuality, and social class, and were marked by his distinctive wit and humor. Some of his most famous plays include "The Importance of Being Earnest," "Lady Windermere's Fan," and "An Ideal Husband." Wilde's plays were considered scandalous and controversial for their time, as they often challenged social norms and conventions. Despite this, his works have endured and continue to be popular in contemporary theater and film adaptations.

Important trends of the Period

Critique of industrialization , deterioration of the rural lifestyle and conflict between classes , as well as the very, very beginning of the movement for women's rights

social novel

naturalistic novel

The gothic literary trend explored themes of horror, supernatural and the macabre . It was mainly used to highlight the anxiety and fear that surrounded society due to the rapid changes.

romantic love

Sensationalism was a trend that emerged in the mid to late part of the period and made use of dramatic and sensational themes, such as murder , betrayal and scandal .

Fantasy as a genre during the Victorian period was characterized by a fascination with the supernatural, folklore, and mythological creatures. This was a time of great cultural and scientific change, and many writers explored themes of magic, the unknown, and the unexplainable as a way to comment on the anxieties and uncertainties of the era.

"Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" and "Through the Looking Glass" by Lewis Carroll (1865, 1871)

"The Water-Babies, A Fairy Tale for a Land Baby" by Charles Kingsley (1863)

"The Princess and the Goblin" by George MacDonald (1872)

"The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" by Robert Louis Stevenson (1886) - while not strictly a fantasy novel, it contains elements of horror and supernatural transformation that are characteristic of the Victorian Gothic genre.

Science fiction, which can trace its roots to ancient mythology and is related to fantasy and horror fiction, explores futuristic concepts, such as time travel, space exploration and extraterrestrial life, as well as the consequences of technological advancement. Herbert Wells' "The Time Machine" and "The War of the Worlds" are the predecessors of modern sci-fi masterpieces.

Influence on further periods

Modernism : Victorian literature is often seen as a precursor to modernism. Many modernist writers, such as T.S. Eliot and Ezra Pound were influenced by Victorian writers like Alfred Lord Tennyson and Robert Browning. In particular, they were interested in the use of irony and the exploration of psychological complexity that characterized many Victorian works.

Women's literature: Victorian literature was also influential in the development of women's literature, both in terms of its representation of women and its impact on women writers. Many Victorian writers, such as the Bronte sisters and George Eliot, wrote about women's experiences and challenged traditional gender roles. In doing so, they paved the way for later women writers to explore similar themes and issues.

Social and political commentary: Just as Victorian writers used their work to explore issues of class, gender, and race, many contemporary writers also use their work to critique social and political norms. For example, writers like Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Ta-Nehisi Coates, and Arundhati Roy have used their work to explore issues of race, immigration, and postcolonialism.

Revival of Victorian themes and styles: Finally, some contemporary writers have drawn inspiration directly from the Victorian era, incorporating its themes, styles, and settings into their work. For example, Sarah Waters, Michel Faber, and Alan Moore have all written works that draw heavily on Victorian Gothic, exploring themes of horror, sexuality, and repression.
