Reading Organizer

 

Victorian literature is English literature during the reign of Queen Victoria (1837–1901). Some consider the 19th century the Golden Age of English Literature, especially for British novels. In the Victorian era, the novel became the leading literary genre in English. English writing from this era reflects the significant transformations in most aspects of English life, from scientific, economic, and technological advances to changes in class structures and the role of religion in society.
