The Victorian Age
The Victorian Age seems as if it should be really good. We start to see whats what and how people change over a short period of time. Withering Heights seems like it should be good. The poems that I read last night we kind of gloomy. At least to me they were. In Browning's poem all I got out of it was death and when he dies he will be with his love again. The soul of his soul as he put it. This shows that he really loves her and he wants her back really bad. Hopefully the poems get happier as we go on.

I thjink the Voctioran Age will be interesting also but I think the literature will lack some creativity because everything has to be perfect with restrictions on everything. There will probably be more fantasy because there will be the imagination that wants more than what the person can have during this time period.
