Victorian Literature: historical context

I have bundled together three resources which I think will be useful when studying Victorian literature. Two are over views of the period as a whole and give a broad brush stroke of the times. Thomas Hood's Poem brings the focus down to a walk through the smog on a cold November day. This bundle will provide useful background information and a sense of context when studying the Victorian novel or poetic works of that time-frame. Suitable for ages 10+
