“Tennyson wrote, 'Let the great world spin forever down the ringing grooves of change.' This line sums up the sense of dynamism and change and growth that Victorian Britain represented.”

For: Readers interested in Victorian history and literature
Key quote: “Let the great world spin forever down the ringing grooves of change.”
The host mentions 'Loxley Hall' to illustrate the sense of dynamism and change during the Victorian era, particularly in relation to the railway's impact on society. Tennyson's reflections on his first train journey highlight the novelty and strangeness of this new technology at the time.
