Victorian Concepts in Kipling's 'A Matter of Fact'

Meer over het boek

The Victorian period, spanning from 1835 to 1903, was pivotal in shaping English social, political, and cultural landscapes. Key concepts like splendid isolation in foreign policy and laissez-faire in economics emerged during this time, alongside influential philosophical theories such as Utilitarianism and Intuitivism. This era witnessed the Industrial Revolution and significant parliamentary reforms, while simultaneously representing the height of colonial pride and the beginning of the Empire's decline, reflecting a complex legacy of both glory and decay.
