There were all kinds of changes in the 19th century. In 1800 Britain was starting to industrialize; by 1900 it was one of the most highly industrialized countries in the world. I'd suggest focusing on the period from about 1830 onwards. The class system had become more fluid. For example, there were enterprising people who had started with very little capital and become very rich ... The main classes were: * The aristocracy, which still clung to its privileges, and generally expected to be treated with respect by the middle classes. * The new middle classes, who had risen to wealth and prominence in the early stages of the industrial revolution, were under-represented in Parliament (until after 1832) and had little sympathy for the land-owning aristocracy. * The traditional middle classses - Anglican clergymen, lawyers, etc. * The skilled working class, which enjoyed a reasonable standard of living from about 1850. * The unskilled working class - regarded by those above them as mysterious, dangerous, godless and subversive ... Obviously, this is a very simplified thumbnail sketch.
