The problem with defining Victorian literature is that Victoria reigned for so long, the writing at the beginning of the period is vastly different from that later in the era, which had much more in common with Edwardian literature. The other problem arises with nationality. There were writers from many different regions - Great Britain, Canada, the US, Australia and New Zealand, the other areas of the Victorian British empire - during the period, but the canon tends to classify the British writers of the era as inherently "Victorian". That being said, the following lists some of the more prominent female Victorian writers. Some of them are still read today, a large number however, while popular during their lifetime, are fairly unknown today. They include: the Bronte sisters (Anne, Emily & Charlotte), Elizabeth Barrett Browning, George Eliot, Elizabeth Gaskell, Mary Elizabeth Braddon, Charlotte Mary Yonge, Anna Sewell, Christina Rossetti, Susanna Moodie, Catherine Parr Traill, Emily Dickinson, Harriet Beecher Stowe and Louisa May Alcott. The links below provide some more background information on Victorian literature as a whole, and women writers of the period in particular.

i would not have suggested he replaced right into a very stable author nor might I say that he replaced into good in the define of the Victorian age. He replaced right into a sensationalist and his thoughts have been printed in magazines. human beings weren't relatively properly examine then and he had to spice issues up slightly to get the activity and shop them analyzing each and every serial. Authors like, Anthony Trollope have been far extra desirable writers of the Victorian cases yet Dickens centred on writing bearing directly to the damaging and the irritating cases and that i've got self belief he overemphasised the squalor

Can't beat basblues answer but books by George Eliot and Mrs Elizabeth Gaskell are not hard to find. Mrs. Gaskells "North and South" was recently televised so a recent re-issue should be about. So was "Middlemarch" (said to be the greatest English novel), so it should be about and "Silas Marner" and "The Mill on the Floss" are nearly always available. Look for Pan Classics if they have them in your country.

Try "The Awakening" by Kate Chopin sold in most big box bookstores. Or either "Jane Eyre" or "Wuthering Heights" by the Bronte sisters.
