The Victorian Age (1837-1901) marked a transformative period in British history, characterized by unprecedented industrial growth, social reforms, and literary achievements. Britain emerged as the world's leading power through industrial revolution in England, colonial expansion, and technological advancement. The era witnessed significant urban development, social reforms including the Chartist Movement, and the flourishing of the realistic novel.

• The period saw massive urbanization with horrible living conditions for workers in industrial towns
• Literary developments included the rise of the Victorian novel, published in installments
• Social reforms gradually improved working-class conditions and education
• Colonial expansion, particularly in India (the "Jewel in the Crown"), strengthened British power
• Late Victorian period witnessed emerging ideologies like feminism and socialism

Page 2: Empire Management and Economic Policies

The British Empire reached its zenith during the Victorian era, with India serving as its most precious possession - the "Jewel in the Crown."

Highlight: The Chartist Movement emerged as a significant working-class movement, demanding six major political reforms:

  1. Universal male suffrage
  2. Secret ballot
  3. No property qualifications for Parliament
  4. Paid MPs
  5. Equal electoral districts
  6. Annual parliamentary elections

Definition: The Corn Laws were protective tariffs on imported grain, maintaining artificially high food prices to benefit British landowners.

Example: The devastating Irish Potato Famine ultimately influenced the repeal of the Corn Laws under Prime Minister Robert Peel.

Quote: "Victorians thought that poor people was just lazy" - reflecting the period's attitude toward poverty and social welfare.

  • Trade Union legalization
  • Rising living standards for working classes
  • Growth of feminist movements

Definition: The Victorian Novel became the era's dominant literary form, considered its "golden age."

The period saw the rise of various progressive movements including feminism, socialism, and workers' rights, reflecting broader social changes in Victorian society.

Page 1: Victorian Britain and Industrial Growth

The period from 1837 to 1901, known as the Victorian Age, saw Britain's emergence as a global superpower through industrialization and colonial expansion. The era derives its name from Queen Victoria, who ascended to the throne as the First Industrial Revolution concluded.

Britain's economic prosperity stemmed from:

  • Colonial exploitation
  • Low-cost labor
  • Rapid industrial expansion

Highlight: The transformation of British cities during this period was unprecedented, with major industrial centers emerging in London, Liverpool, Manchester, Birmingham, Bristol, Leeds, Sheffield, and Bradford.

Definition: The Victorian social structure was strictly hierarchical, with upper and middle classes (comprising less than 5% of the population) controlling most wealth and resources.

Example: The stark contrast in living conditions was evident in housing - while wealthy citizens enjoyed spacious, healthy neighborhoods, workers endured overcrowded slums lacking basic amenities.

Vocabulary: Slums - densely populated urban areas characterized by substandard housing and squalor.

The period also saw significant political reforms, including the First Reform Bill, though it initially excluded working classes from voting rights.
