    The Victorian period is one of the most popular eras studied and is well known for many things; from fashion to inventions, to the Industrial revolution to their education. Despite how much people like to think that they differ from them drastically, so much of our modern society depends on what they first created and the changes they set in motion. Many perspectives on how the Victorians lived their lives come from misconceptions given to in literature and education. A lot of stereotypes held are of their social classes; the upper class were snobbish and shallow, and the lower or working class were dirty, illiterate and uneducated. Two historic and popular novels that examine Victorian life are George Elliot’s Middlemarch and Elizabeth Gaskell’s North and South; in both novels the writers try to portray the essence of the society as a whole, not merely of one class, sometimes more or less successfully than the other. The two texts both reinforce and contradict the clichéd representations of Victorian social class.…

    Not only from woman to woman, but from poet to poet, Elizabeth Barrett Browning felt a connection of reverence and utmost admiration with self-titled George Sand. Barrett Browning went to the lengths of seemingly serenading Sand in her two poems “To George Sand: A Desire” and “To George Sand: A Recognition.” In “To George Sand: A Desire,” Barret Browning addresses Sand as “Thou large-brained woman and large hearted man,” (line 1). Sand, whose identity as a woman was kept a secret in order to avoid judgment, was able to produce poetry and fool her audience into believing she was a man. A widely-read poet in England, Sand produced several writings and received different reactions from the citizens of Victorian England. Barrett Browning’s…
