Victorian and Modernist British Literature The Victorian period, which lasted from the mid-1800s to the beginning of the twentieth century, includes the love poems of Elizabeth and Robert Browning, Lord Alfred Tennysons sweeping saga of Camelot entitled Idylls of the King, and the Scottish writer Robert Louis Stevensons adventure stories and novels, including his famous The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Modernist English literature includes the works of William Butler Yeats, Virginia Woolfe, James Joyce and D. H. Lawrence, who all dealt with sometimes disturbing themes of death and disillusionment and pioneered new literary forms.
