Abstract
The Victorian period is the powerful milestone on the route to social, cultural, religious, ideological change in Britain, which led to the destruction of long-held dogmas and formed a worldview that is still influencing modern thought and behaviour. The English Literature and Culture: the Victorian Era course delves into the cultural aspects of the Victorian age, a period that played a crucial role in shaping the essence of Englishness, and examines how the nineteenth-century British writers and poets dealt with the great shift in consciousness and addressed a broad range of political, social and aesthetic matters of that turbulent era.
