During the Victorian era, the middle class growth quickly.

The industrial revolution has a major role in this phenomenon : discoveries ( scientific discoveries like Darwin's origin of species, in medicine, in the railway system, in the coal mines... ), rational improvements, cultural and architectural diversity contributed to the growth of the UK. Among cultural progress,
we can mentioned fantasy, gothic, detective, realism, romanticism, symbolism and mysticism as current notions or literary genres. A very famous book was Wuthering Heights written by Emily Brontë in 1847. There were also other writers such as Oscar Wilde with his book the Picture of Dorian Gray.
At this time, Great-Britain depicted wildness, loneliness and individualism. There were also many common beliefs : To British people, someone who knew a material success was someone who had a stable moral life, the underprivileged and the destitute were not educated to belong to the world, predestination and dark powers were real facts ...

@fresco,
That must have taken a lot of time, fresco. As they say in America..... good jaaaaaab.
I shall now stick your thumb up.

Quote:predestination and dark powers were real facts
As for writers, you could mention Charles Dickens (once described as "le Victor Hugo anglais" by Jean-Pierre Pernaut on the TF1 JT 13h).
I would just like to point out that Oscar Wilde was not British, but Irish.
@Candie,

The whole of Ireland was part of Britain during Wilde's lifetime, and that he was descended from a Protestant Anglo-Irish family who were involved in the administration of "the British Empire".
