An Age of Change

The Victorian age was an age of great changes and reform, including social and religious.

One religious movement influenced english society and how people lived their daily lives. Here is a link to my webpage that talks about the effects of the evangelical movement on society and english literature.

In the works we read this week, ideas of the past sparked new ideas for the future. They also spoke of the times and the issues prevelent in the minds of the people, especially the middle class.

To read the literature of this period is to look through a window into the psyche of people who lived in this era, no matter what their class.

Next week, we are going to read Mrs. Dalloway by Virginia Woolf and all about the modern age.
Happy reading!
