Famous Authors And Writers During

Victorian Period Of Anglo American

Tennyson excelled at penning short lyrics, such as "Break, Break, Break", "The Charge of the Light
Brigade", "Tears, Idle Tears", and "Crossing the Bar". Much of his verse was based
on classical mythological themes, such as Ulysses, although "In Memoriam A.H.H." was written to
commemorate his friend Arthur Hallam, a fellow poet and student at Trinity College, Cambridge,
after he died of a stroke at the age of 22.[4] Tennyson also wrote some notable blank
verse including Idylls of the King, "Ulysses", and "Tithonus". During his career, Tennyson attempted
drama, but his plays enjoyed little success. A number of phrases from Tennyson's work have
become commonplaces of the English language, including "Nature, red in tooth and claw" (In
Memoriam A.H.H.), "'Tis better to have loved and lost / Than never to have loved at all", "Theirs not
to reason why, / Theirs but to do and die", "My strength is as the strength of ten, / Because my heart
is pure", "To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield", "Knowledge comes, but Wisdom lingers", and
"The old order changeth, yielding place to new". He is the ninth most frequently quoted writer in The
Oxford Dictionary of Quotations.[5]

Charles John Huffam Dickens (/dknz/; 7 February 1812 9 June 1870) was an English writer
and social critic. He created some of the world's best-known fictional characters and is regarded by
many as the greatest novelist of the Victorian era.[1] His works enjoyed unprecedented popularity
during his lifetime, and by the 20th century critics and scholars had recognised him as a literary
genius. His novels and short stories enjoy lasting popularity.[2][3]

Born in Portsmouth, Dickens left school to work in a factory when his father was incarcerated in
a debtors' prison. Despite his lack of formal education, he edited a weekly journal for 20 years, wrote
15 novels, five novellas, hundreds of short stories and non-fiction articles, lectured and performed
extensively, was an indefatigable letter writer, and campaigned vigorously for children's rights,
education, and other social reforms.

Bront belonged to the romantic era; rather she was one of the flag bearers of
that era. However, her words never talked of a traditional old world romance
of a damsel in distress with the knight in shining armor. In fact, her works
defied every stereotype and negated every norm that the so called civilized
society nurtured for centuries. Wuthering Heights is a kind of biography of
Emily Bront as the plot and the characters indicate quite well with her own
life. Bronts poetry too defied every kind or form of womens poetry. The
poems were like her novel as they also exuded loneliness, rebellion and not to
freedom.The novels attracted great critical attention and steadily became
best-sellers, but the sisters' careers were shortened by ill-health. Emily died
the following year before she could complete another novel, and Anne
published her second novel, The Tenant of Wildfell Hall, in 1848, a year
before her death. Upon publication Jane Eyre received the most critical and
commercial success of all the Bront works, continuing to this day.
Charlotte's Shirley appeared in 1849 and was followed by Vilette in 1853. Her
first novel, The Professor was published posthumously in 1857; her
uncompleted fragment,Emma, was published in 1860; and some of her
juvenile writings remained unpublished until the late twentieth century.forget
