    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
