Synopsis Victorian Literature is the literature produced during the reign of Queen Victoria (1837-1901) and corresponds to the Victorian Era. It forms a link and transition between the writers of the romantic period and the very different literature of the 20 century. This set of two volumes highlights the writers who delivered literary content of high order and have survived the criticism of following periods. It also focuses on salient characteristics of English literature in the Victorian era with critical notes and chapters about Great Victorian Novelists and Poets. It proceeds to discuss Victorianism which is a sort of fusion between Neoclassicism and Romanticism. The publication is useful for the students of literature at undergraduate and postgraduate levels, when they want to have a critically summed up view of the era and its literature. The volumes are compact and carry concise chapters written in fluent prose, keeping the inquisitive student in mind.
