This summer, I'm hosting the second edition of A Victorian Celebration, and I hope you'll join in on the fun. I'm planning on having a few giveaways during the event, as well as guest posts, information about Victorian writers, and lots of posts related to the Victorians.
The Victorian era in literature refers to the time that Queen Victoria was ruling in Britain (1837-1901). It was a time period of great peace and prosperity for Britain and allowed for a lot of artistic and literary expression. Generally speaking, Victorians are only the British authors who published during this time period. However, some like to group American writers and others into the mix since their work can be closely tied together. I'm okay with you reading and linking any books published during this time period, but ideally you'd be reading what are considered to be the Victorians (British writers).
Starting on June 1, I'll have a Master post up to link your reviews and posts about the Victorians. The event will last until the end of July. You can stop by any time to read other posts and reviews of Victorian literature!
If you're interested in joining along, please sign up below, and feel free to take a look at some of my favorite posts from the last event 3 years ago.

ReplyDeleteMy Literary Movement Reading Challenge theme for June is coincidentally Victorian, so this would add the fun! Thanks Allie, for hosting it once again. I'll be reading Dickens and Hardy. Bleak House and Far from a Madding Crowd are already sitting on top of my list. Can't wait to begin! ^_^
Oh I'm so in! Not going to aim high but I think at least one of my outstanding Bronte titles (The Professor or Villette I think) and maybe I'll even attempt Middlemarch finally!
ReplyDeleteMiddlemarch is WONDERFUL. (Okay, the first 100 pages are a little slow, but it's really worth sticking with!)
