summary of the Victorian Age (1830-1901) and the thinker of the Victorian Age

Victorian Era: It simply identifies the historical era in England roughly coincided with the reign of Queen Victoria, 1837-1901. The beginning of the Victorian Period is frequently dated 1830, or alternatively 1832, and sometimes 1837; it extends to the death of Victoria in 1901. It is often subdivided into three phases: Early Victorian (to 1848) Mid-Victorian (1848-70) Late Victorian (1870-1901) The Victorian Age, 1830-1901 • During the Victorian Age, England changed as much and as dramatically as it had in all of its previous history. It was in the nineteenth century that England reached its height as a world imperial power. • Between 1837 (when Victoria ascended the throne) and 1901 (when she died) the population of London grew from about 2 million to well over 6 million―an unparalleled population boom. • Changes in industrial production techniques had a profound impact on almost all aspects of life for every class of citizen. • Unregulated industrialization created great prosperity for a lucky few but great misery for the masses. • Victorian era writers were mixed in their reactions to industrialization. Some celebrated the new age of promise, progress, and triumph, while others challenged the so-called benefits of industrial growth when so many were being affected so negatively.
