Background of Earl Cain

 

The setting of Earl Cain series lies in the late 19th century, London (Victorian Age). At that time, not only the ideologies, but beliefs, religions, fine arts, etc. were changed radically rapidly as well. A young Earl, Cain lives in that time and his unique hobby 'Collecting Poisons' help him solve lots of mysterious crimes and events at that time. . .

 

 

Victoria Age - Arise of New Aristocracy
Britain in the 19th century became the richest and the most powerful nation in the world under the reign of Queen Victoria (1837-1901). Victorian Age , the saga of glory, of prosperity, of mystery, and of what should be happened, shall be done. Great changes or events happened at that time include 'Parliamentary Reform' , 'New ideas on Religion, Literature, Art and Music' , 'Arise of New Aristocracy', etc.

Royal powers spread and shifted to the aristocracy and the newly rich business leaders. Titles could be bought easily (in Earl Cain's GOD CHILD - 'Mad Tea Party', it mentions that the degeneration of a baron and peer are no longer a valuable title, but an expensive good could be bought by the whoever rich.) The new aristocracy became one of wealth, not land. And yet, then and now, aristocracy remains socially important in British society.
