Abstract

The Victorian Age was the time when men were considered higher than women and they need to remain chase and live within the four walls. The husbands did not have any regards for their wives, who they thought are for cooking, cleaning and looking after the child. It was the period where the age-old beliefs came into contrast with the new theories and as such the conflict between science and religion became intense and wide spread. With the rapid scientific development, the thirst for more and more knowledge was insatiable which was followed by colonial expansion. It was also the period where the people showed strong nationalism expressing their love for the country.

Keywords: Victorian age, Women, Science & religion, colonial expansion.

Victorian Age

The Victorian Age can be dated from 1837-1901, the year in which Queen Victoria ascended the throne of England and the year in which she died. Queen Victoria reigns from June 20, 1837 until her death on January 22, 1901. The Age was characterised by the rise of democracy and the advancement of science. The first Reform Bill 1832 extended the franchise and gave more people the right to vote though it excluded the workingclass people by its insistence on property ownership. With the spread of popular education, newspapers, magazines and cheap books, facts and speculations of the experts were exposed to the reading public. A huge upheaval in thought was the result of this rapid progress and popularisation of knowledge; new theories came into conflict with old faiths; the ancient intellectual order was shaken at its foundation.
