While in the preceding Romantic period poetry had been the dominant genre, it was the novel that was most important in the Victorian period. Charles Dickens (1812–1870) dominated the first part of Victoria's reign: his first novel, Pickwick Papers, was published in 1836, and his last Our Mutual Friend between 1864–5. William Thackeray's (1811–1863) most famous work Vanity Fair appeared in 1848, and the three Brontë sisters, Charlotte (1816–55), Emily (1818–48) and Anne (1820–49), also published significant works in the 1840s. A major later novel was George Eliot's (1819–80) Middlemarch (1872), while the major novelist of the later part of Queen Victoria's reign was Thomas Hardy (1840–1928), whose first novel, Under the Greenwood Tree, appeared in 1872 and his last, Jude the Obscure, in 1895.
Robert Browning (1812–89) and Alfred Tennyson (1809–92) were Victorian England's most famous poets, though more recent taste has tended to prefer the poetry of Thomas Hardy, who, though he wrote poetry throughout his life, did not publish a collection until 1898, as well as that of Gerard Manley Hopkins (1844–89), whose poetry was published posthumously in 1918. Algernon Charles Swinburne (1837–1909) is also considered an important literary figure of the period, especially his poems and critical writings. Early poetry of W. B. Yeats was also published in Victoria's reign.

Genres: Comedy,By Maia McAleavey, English Department Cambridge University Press, 2015 The courtship plot dominates accounts of the Victorian novel, but this innovative study turns instead to a narrative phenomenon that upends its familiar conventions: the bigamy plot. In hundreds of novels, plays, and poems published in Victorian Great Britain, husbands or wives thought dead suddenly reappear to their newly remarried spouses. In the sensation fiction of Braddon and Collins, these bigamous revelations lead to bribery, arson, and murder, but the same plot operates in the canonical fiction of Charlotte Brontë, Dickens, Eliot, Thackeray, and Hardy. These authors employ bigamy plots to destabilize the apparently conventional form and values of the Victorian novel. By close examination of this plot, includin...
A homage to a literary genre that swept through Victorian society, centring on socially unsavoury themes. In this tale, a Victorian gentleman gets quite a shock on his wedding night.
I wrote this piece a few months ago when I tried to explain to somebody how it feels inside my head. I was diagnosed with depression, anxiety and ADHD over a year ago and every day is different story. In hopes to wrap my head around the feelings inside my brain- I thought I'd open it up for you all. You are not alone.

SUBSCRIBE HERE http://goo.gl/OJrTHf TO OUR CHANNEL. FRESH CONTENT UPLOADED DAILY. The Doctor's Wife Mary Elizabeth BRADDON (1835 - 1915) This is one of the Victorian “Sensationist” Mary Elizabeth Braddon's many novels (best known among them: “Lady Audley’s Secret”). It is extremely well written, fluid, humorous and, in places, self-mocking: one of the main characters is a Sensation Author. The motifs of the-woman-with-a-secret, adultery, and death are classic “sensationist” material. Yet this is also a self-consciously serious work of literature, taking on various social themes of the day. Specifically, Braddon presents the psychological struggle and cognitive dissonance which are the inevitable plight of the married middle-class woman with a strong sense of self, who is essentially con...
England during the reign of Victoria is famous for industrial, scientific, and technological advances, as well as sexual repression. But it was also an era when the ghost story -- and its extensions in longer fictions during one of the heydays of the English novel -- flourished in print just as old traditions about the spirit world were being called into question by the many supposed "progresses" of the day. This seminar sets out to explain both the wide range of ghost stories during the time before and after Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol" in 1843 (which will be included) and the many ways that "ghostliness" was incorporated into seemingly "realistic" Victorian fictions from Dickens to Henry James, partly through their reworkings of the earlier "Gothic" tradition in fiction and drama...

You built an imaginary world
Made of dreams and promises
You can't see who is around you
And the ones that you can trust
You can't live your own life anymore
Now is too late to consider and
You lost your friends by your fault
You lost your friends by your fault
You lost your friends by your fault...by your fault
You should better take another look
And to see who's around you
And now you blame the same people
That you used to call as brothers
You can't live your own life anymore
Now is too late to consider and
You lost your friends by your fault
You lost your friends by your fault
You lost your friends by your fault...by your fault
Anymore
You can't live your own life anymore
Now is too late to consider and
You lost your friends by your fault
You lost your friends by your fault
You lost your friends by your fault...by your fault
