Understanding of social
position
was all-pervasive in Victorian society.
The Victorian class system was dependent on
inherited
status at birth, ownership or non-ownership of
land
, as well as profession and occupation.
The Victorian class system reflected a
neatly
graded
system with elite superiors down to the ‘lower orders’.
The Victorian
class
system persisted up to the end of the
century
and beyond.
