1 The Victorian Age (See Chang Yaoxin, 216-222)

This period has been generally considered as one of the most glorious in the

Victorian Period (1832-1848), the Mid-Victorian Period (1848-1870), and late
Victorian Period (1870-1902) (In social-political terms, it can be roughly
subdivided into two phases: the first, beginning from 1832 through mid-century,
the second, from 1870 to 1902.).
? The Victorian period was on the whole one of transition from the past to the
modern times, and one of radical change in values, institutions, and doctrines. It
