The Victorian Era was a 68 year ruling period by the infamous Queen Victoria. Her reign ensured tremendous cultural expansion; improvement in trade, science and technology, and the invention of railroads in London.

Wells disagreed with England’s capitalist views as he himself was a socialist and strived to get his views noticed. In his novel the Time Machine he has taken segregation to its extremes with the distinction of both the upper and lower classes living above and below ground, in an attempt to show everyone the error of their ways, with his views on the political policies of England subtly

In Victorian England, children did not have much of an education, they were mostly just taught how to read. Many poor children worked instead of going to school. Richer families could afford school fees but wealthy girls were usually taught at home by a governess, and the boys attended good schools like grammar schools.

prejudice which has been embedded within society politically, socially and financially across the world. Although arguably one of the most liberal countries constitutionally, such chauvinism has indeed occurred within Britain, particularly during the Victorian Era.

In the Victorian Era of England, society was divided amongst three groups, or classes. These classes included the upper class, the middle class, and the lower, or working class. Classism during Victorian times, although widely accepted, caused many problems such as judgement and destitution. The Upper Class was made up of Dukes, Nobles, and other wealthy aristocrats. This “Royal Class” had better education and living conditions than those in lower classes. Their lives were considered to be luxurious

England was transforming, from an agrarian to an industrialised nation. As a result, people were flocking from the country to the towns in the hope of finding work in new factories. Subsequently a large number of workers in need of a job led to a decline in wages. Sadly, even children were not spared. There were many poor families who had to send their children to work and help financially toward family budget. Moreover, the conditions in which children usually worked were dreadful and dangerous

In the mid-19th century, prostitution was at its height of popularity in Victorian England. A total of 8600 documented prostitutes was estimated by the Metropolitan Police Division during 1868, not included the number of those whom the police had not acknowledged (Acton 38).
