Victorian Thought Conflicts ► Admired material benefits of industry ► Deplored brutality of factory life and slums ► Should business have free reign or government control? ► Theory of Evolution vs. Creation

Victorian Literature ► Continuing Romantic influence depicted nature as mirror of human feelings ► Naturalism depicted harsh realities of life in the Industrial Revolution and saw nature as harsh and indifferent to human suffering

Victorian Poetry ► Alfred, Lord Tennyson – music of language ► Robert Browning – psychological monologues ► Elizabeth Barrett Browning – love poems ► Thomas Hardy and A.E.Housman – life’s disappointments
