  2. The emergence of the Victorian middle class is said to be a direct result of the Industrial Revolution. The Industrial Revolution began roughly in 1760.

  3. It had a profound impact on the economical, social, and cultural fabric of British life. During this period, England’s economy changed from an agrarian-based, handicraft economy to one dominated by urban, machine-driven manufacturing.

  4. The emerging middle class citizens were a broad range of peoples such as farmers, shopkeepers, merchants, and skilled artisans to bankers, bureaucrats, manufacturers, and industrialists.

  5. After the emergence of the middle class, it made up 15% of the English population. Different from today, the income of the people did not depict whether someone was in the middle class. It was the source.

  6. The people with the highest social standing were the professionals within the middle class. This part of middle class was often called the upper middle class. This group included Church of England clergymen, military and naval officers, men who were in the higher-status branches of law and medicine, those at the upper levels of governmental services, and university professors.

  7. The economy broadened because of the transition from an agrarian economy. England’s income flourished and the cash flow throughout the country boomed. The rise of the middle class had huge implications on England as a whole.
