Victorian literature part

Welcome back, old boys! In this long overdue post, I will talk about some famous works of the Victorian Era. Let's start with Charles Dickens, considered the greatest novelist of the Era. He created the world famous "A Christmas Carol", which gained immediately critical acclaim, among other books, like "A Tale of Two Cities", which is referred as the most selling book in literature, selling more than 200 million copies. By this time, Charles Darwin created " On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life", and yes, that is the full title. This piece of work has caused, as we all know, much controversy, even still today. So there you have it. A lot of great literature works have been created during the Victorian Era, and this goes to show that the era wasn't all material things, but also a lot of intellect
