The
Victorian Age, the period between mid 1800s to the beginning of 1900’s, is
significant because of the sense of dizzying change it is characterized
by. This era witnessed some form of
change in every imaginable sphere of life- technology, literature, art, woman
rights, religious beliefs, fashion, social structure et al. In this era some of
the most significant technological advancements and engineering marvels were
made. With the invention of the steam engine the pace of the spread of change
increased exponentially. People, goods, ideas were no longer restricted.
