The idea
After the Romantics came a period of long novels, public poetry and a literature engaged with industry, empire and doubt. Tennyson and Dickens carry it here, and Austen sits a little earlier. The band's range is wider than the Romantic break alone suggests.
In practice
Novels, public poetry, doubt.
Where people slip
The band is wider than one break.
