- The 19th century saw a lot of changes in Britain, with the growth of the empire, the Crimean and Boer wars, many political changes, the expansion of the railways, changes in health and education, and of course policing. This period has as you rightly pointed out some amazing literature, and it's great to immerse yourself at times into this culture which was so very different to that we know today.
