    I could have listened to more than an hour on this subject alone. Victorian literature is an enormously broad topic, with writers as diverse as Emily Bronte and Joseph Conrad. I'd love to see you do a more expanded version.

      I second your suggestion. Perhaps Victorian literature could be broken into a variety of themes such as literature that called attention to social ills such as poverty, the class system, etc., novels about the British Empire (Kipling’s Jungle Books comes to mind), the changing role of women, the industrialization of Britain and so forth.

    Excellent video. I appreciate all your research.The victorian era is very fascinating to me. I especially like the mystery or adventure books of the era. My favorite are Doyle, Stevenson, Verne, Melville, Wilkie Collins, and Kipling (though not his more imperialist stuff) . Does anyone have any more classic victorian adventure authors or stories I should try out?

      Well, of course, there's Dickens. And some of the more mysterious writers might be those such as Algernon Blackwood, whose short stories are sometimes absolutely marvelous, there's Anthony Trollope, Nathaniel Hawthorne and another great American short story writer of the age, Ambrose Bierce.

      You may enjoy The Baron Munchhausen by Rudolf Erich Raspe . It is a little earlier in history, but still popular during the time and incredibly entertaining.

    Really fascinating!
    The British empire having a BILLION inhabitants in the 1800s!? That's getting awfully close to modern demographics...
    Though, with the important difference being that modern population numbers rose naturally, and are actually maintainable.

    • @rileysimpson3543

      The British Empire never had close to a billion people… The most they had was 531 million in 1938.

      Have you read 'Don quixote' by Miguel de cervantes?
      Earler writer than dickens but in my opinion stands head and shoulders above many other authors and their works. Try him if you ever have the time to.

      It paved the way for modernism and brought to light injustices of the poor working class. It built upon the neo classical romantic period but was Moore realistic.

    I would like to invite you to read The Painter by Vera Britto - available as an ebook on Amazaon.
    What is a man to do when he is trapped? - Based on a poignant short story by Aldous Huxley, one of England’s greatest writers
    It is 1923, and London is home to Rolls-Royce limousines, art snobs and cunning young men trying to better themselves. Some, like the dashing William, climb on the backs of others while friends at the club cheer him on. Some, like Lord Badgery, throw out crumbs of privilege to those eager to lap them up. Yet others, like the down-trodden Jonathan, are dazzled by England's aristocratic circles which he observes with ever widening eyes. What wouldn’t he give to be one of them and to escape his own suffocating circumstances? If he had to pay a high price for acceptance, his greatest dream, would he? Set against the backdrop of the world of painting and fine arts, with real and fictional artists and artworks, one man’s soul is tested.
    The cinema has not used Huxley’s short story, “The Tillotson Banquet”, but “The Painter” shows how rich and vibrant such a film would be. The story is written in a screenplay format, which author Vera Britto playfully calls a Movie-in-a-Book and shows it is a viable and enjoyable format as any other. With filmmaking’s freedom, she paints in characters and drama to enrich Huxley’s story. Directions for filming and acting will pique the imagination of the reader in a way that prose does not. There is “image” in “imagination”, and page by page this Movie-in-a-Book fills a mental screen. The reader enjoys both a rich interpretation of life in upper class England and the chance to embark on this exciting adventure sitting in the director’s chair.
