Victorian Age
Victorian Age , So for the topic that we have in the
Victorian poets will be going to read about the all type of poetry in this age
In the first generation poets of the Victorian age Alfred Tennyson and Robert Browning
was born in the beginning of the century like Tennyson was 1809 and Browning
1812.
Now between these two poets Victorian poetry
expresses itself into very different colors whereas Tennyson was more
conservative more giving to looking to the past and so obviously there is lot
of nostalgia in his poetry Nostalgia for what was and there is no longer end.
Victorian poetry it is a key for the poetry and it runs through
entire log not nearly Tennyson Browning to Arnold also.
Victorian Age – Romantic Age
All the major poets reflect the mood of the time the reason for
this mood almost despondence a mood which was sad and overburden with something
preciously lost.
Something lost forever and something lost forever something
precious and at the same time last forever so it is this mood which is
reflected of in the poetry of the Tennyson and Browning and two different faces
of poets now behind all this.
In the Romantic Age early 19th century we had lot of radicalism enthusiasm
and we had the spirit of the French Revolution so ideas of equality freedom
democracy so and so forth but then in the later 19th century which is 1837
because romantic age was 1798 to 1837.
Victorian age between 1837
and 1895
Victorian age between 1837 and 1895 end of the century that
is the period of the Victorian age now during this age some very important have
happened.
one was in 1837 the first reformed bill
and in the 1865.
second Reform bill so both the Reform bill
came up during this period of the Victorian age now these two bills change the
entire scenario of the Victorian age
1837 gave voting right to the common people 1865 to the workers
of show the working class the lowermost section of the society they were given
the voting right in the process of workers.
Right to Vote for Women
Show the workers extended to the grassroot but here one thing is
important even until 65 no voting right for rights for women’s.
Even workers had the right but not women of the high class had
no voting right and it took another 50 years to obtain that women had to
struggle.
In 1922 after World War 1 the women got the voting right but
male workers had got it in 1865 so this was the one important thing that
happened during the Victorian age
Darwin Charles Darwin
The theory of evolution he gave the theory of evolution shocking
common people particularly those who are committed to Christianity into
religion overall show shock was the
Darwin said "there is nothing special about man"
because Christianity would say "the man was the special creation of
God, and God creates the man in his own image".
Man as God
The Man as God in Victorian Age , But then there is shock at the
mid-century when Darwin said it is all the evolution of the species and man is
came from the monkey, album management all man is monkey now that was quite
shock.
Because all those Noble ideas great ideas about God and Goddesses
and man being descendant of the god now that was gone at the time it was
shocked.
So they came about which is popularly known the Victorian
compromise
The Victorians were not radical like this like the romantics
they were not route to follow their own inspiration their own dream even at the
at the cost of movies in the society losing the society and become and exile
like Byron Shelley and Keats they left their own society and became exiles but
the Victorians was not radical in that sense they were not ready to sacrifice
everything for the sake of one thing so there was of acceptance whatever comes
accepted so they have to compromise between Darwin and Christ on the
One hand the Christian religion giving thoughts of ideas about
how Christ sacrifice and how we are Children of God so on
Find the other we are came from the monkeys so between
these two divisions had to strike a compromise and therefore the acceptance the
solubility of "man
is not God like".
Between science and the compromise between science and religion
Between the lofty ideals and the hard and unpalatable facts of
life of evolution because those ideas which based upon an experiments and
experiments were devoted to the lifetime.
Industrial there is nothing else with the dedication they come off with
the approval facts about human life had not join to accept that all but at the
same time they did not want to reject outright in their herited it's a really religion:
its values what is what is done what is not to be done what is good what is not
good so here come soon Victorian compromise
