Victorian England: An Era Of Achievement,
Celebration And Scandal |
 The England of Queen Victoria inspired
an incredible number of important events, nurtured larger than life
personalities and generated amazing scandals.
This slide-illustrated
course offers a perspective on a
society that passionately evoked the Middle Ages, built vast town
halls and mansions, influenced the
novels of Dickens, enjoyed rowdy music hall theater, reeled at
massive railway scandals and successfully
harnessed the Industrial Revolution. It was also an age in which the
reclusive Queen Victoria was both
criticized and enthusiastically commemorated in the Jubilees of 1887
and 1897. |
