Wor, Bro. Walker states that the Victorian Age, to the latter part of which Kipling belongs, was rich in great writers-Thackeray and Dickens in prose and Tennyson in poetry. Towards the end of the long reign of Victoria, that is during the concluding years of the 10th century, literature suffered a serious decline.
The Aesthetic Cult was prominent and was satirised by Gilbert and Sullivan in “Patience”.
