Victorian novels


Charles Dickens was perhaps the most famous author between the 1800s and 1900’s. Some of the other most prominent authors were the Bronte sisters, Alfred Tension, George Bernard Shaw, W.B. Yeats, and Oscar Wilde.  Victorian novels tend to be about right and wrong, luck vs. fate, and moral lessons and heart. They often discuss issues of morality and explore the issues of right and wrong. They are typically about people who struggle a lot and have difficult life circumstances. Victorianism relates to The Importance of Being Earnest through mocking Victorianism culture. Also there is influence from Victorian novels in The Return of the Native in the prevalent theme of luck vs. fate.
