	The Norton Anthology of English Literature: The Victorian Age: Review: Summary
		The Victorian era, spanning from 1830–1901, was a period of dramatic change the world over, and especially in England, with the rapid extension of colonialism through large portions of Africa, Asia, and the West Indies, making England a preeminent center of world power and relocating the perceived center of Western Civilization from Paris to London.
		The Victorian early period (1830–48) can be described as a time of dramatic change, with the improvement of the railroads and the country's first Reform Parliament, but it was also a time of economic distress.
		Although the mid-Victorian period (1848–70) was not free of the previous period's problems, it was a time of overall prosperity and general social satisfaction with further growth of the empire improving trade and economic conditions.
