Books About Victorian Literature
The Victorian Period revolves around the political career of Queen Victoria. She was crowned in 1837 and died in 1901 (which put a definite end to her political career). A great deal of change took place during this period, brought about because of the Industrial Revolution; so it's not surprising that the literature of the period is often concerned with social reform.
