Can Jane Austens Sense and Sensibility be considered as Victorian Literature?
No, her novels are all considered a part of the Georgian period. Most are set during the Regency era of the Georgian period (when George III was incapacitated, to put it nicely, and his son reigned in his stead as the Prince Regent). There may be some similarities in her novels to certain Victorian era literature, but still her prose is more pithy than most Victorian novels I’ve read. This site http://www.factmonster.com/ce6/ent/A0858… gives some information about Victorian literature. This site http://www.erasofelegance.com/history/re… talks of Regency era literature. One thing to note is that Jane Austen’s books, though her novels include love stories, are considered Comedy of Manners stories and not romance novels. See http://www.answers.com/topic/comed
