This was a great definition of Victorian times and themes. Thank you.
You're welcome! I'm glad you enjoyed it
This was incredibly detailed and as everyone else has said, informative! Lol. I love to hear people talk history and what they’re passionate about. I can see how much you love it!
Thank you! Victober is one of my favorite reading months. :)
Great introduction. It covers all the areas, and I use this in my classes to help students contextualize Victorian literature. Thanks for this resource!!
So helpful to have Victorian literature contextualised!
Great video :). Reading books set in older times is fascinating. You get to see their moral dilemmas and how society functioned.
Thank you! So true. I love older literature! :)
I loved this! So informative 😊 it was a video just like this that originally got me reading Victorian literature
Thank you! Wow, it would be so amazing if this got someone else interested in Victorian literature. ♥
I always loved Victorian Literature. It is so diverse. Your informations were helpful to me. I recently subscribed your channel. I am sooo happy to get another classic lover's channel!
Love you tons😘
Hooray! It's always wonderful to find another classics lover. ♥
I loved this! It was really great to hear more about the context around Victorian novels.
Thank you! It was really fun to put together. 😊
That was super informative. I’m trying to read more Victorian literature and this gave me a good starting point of themes and ideas I should be aware of.
That's so exciting that you're reading more Victorian Literature! What have you read so far and what do you plan to read next?
Blatantly Bookish in the past I’ve read Wuthering Heights (didn’t love it) and I’ve read some Austen (I find it to be just okay if I’m honest). I loved A Christmas Carol but that’s the only dickens I’ve gotten to. I’m going to read Agnes Grey and hopefully The Importance of Being Earnest. (I read Dorian Gray years ago but absolutely loved that.) I’m a bit all over the place! Haha!
@@LesReadBooks Well, a lot of people don't love Wuthering Heights and Jane Austen isn't Victorian, so let's leave those aside. Based on what you've enjoyed perhaps you'd like The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, The Tenant of Wildfell Hall, Great Expectations, or Jane Eyre. Happy Victober! :)
This is a great video. When I was in college, I took courses in British literature and I read plenty of Victorian literature. I remember reading the works of Ellizabeth Barrett Browning, Dickens, Wilde, and many others.
Thank you!
You really understand your material - thank you.
Thanks! Victorian literature is a bit of a passion of mine. :)

This was incredibly helpful! Thank you so much 😁
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Gaskell and Elliott are my favorite Victorian era writers. I’m currently reading Ruth by Gaskell and it’s just heartbreaking. It’s fully embodies the social views on women during the time.
Gaskell is one of my favorites! I still have to read Ruth. I've heard how heartbreaking it is though and have been putting it off for years.
This was such a wonderful and informative video :)
Thank you! 😊
Such a perfect video! :)
Ah it means so much to me that you liked it! ♥
Another wonderful video!
I complained about sci-fi/fantasy books happened to read to Connor O’Brien. He was nice enough to recommend your site as well as lucythereader site. I read lots of 19th works. I’m fascinated in how folks lived outside the luxury of 20th-21st centuries.
Thank you for checking out my channel! Older works of literature are fascinating!
A great introduction, thank you!
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you! Great video!
Thank you! Well done!
I absolutely love your videos, so informative about many time periods in literature. I particularly liked your video on the victorian period. I learn
so much about literature from listening to you. Also you are such a good speaker I am beginning to become addicted to your channel. Which part of America are you from, just curious. Love you.
I'm delighted that you are enjoying my channel!
Love this!
Thank you! ♥
Hi,
This video was incredibly helpful. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge!
As a non-native reader, I find it challenging to read Victorian novels. I would be very grateful if you can give me some tips to tackle writers like Hardy and Charlotte Bronte.
Thanks again for doing this! ❤
Thank you! This is a great video idea that you mention. I'd like to film it when I get the chance or possibly next Victober. I think it's amazing that you are able to read in multiple languages!
@@BlatantlyBookish Thank you! Looking forward to your video on reading tips! 💙
Enjoyed your video, but you need to change your dates for the Victorian era. Victoria became Queen in 1837, not 1838. She also died in January, 1901, not 1900.
Yea.... not sure where I found the wrong info when scripting this video years ago, but thank you for bringing this to my attention. I've added a correction note in the description section of the video.
