The phrase ‘stiff upper lip’ was unknown to British readers as late as the 1870s. It is a pleasing irony that it was introduced to them in a magazine founded by Charles Dickens, the great master of Victorian pathos and sentimentality, to ‘keep a stiff upper lip’ was explained as meaning ‘to remain firm to a purpose, to keep up one’s courage’. When person has a stiff upper lip, he doesn't show his emotions and feelings when he is upset and he remains brave in the faces of adversity.Books, poems and plays during Victorian period amplified this exaggerated stoicism, and some of Britain’s best-loved work from the 19th Century positively drips with it. Rudyard Kipling’s If, Alfred Tennyson’s The Charge of the Light Brigade, and William Ernest Henley’s Invictus all speak of resilience and determination in the face of great hardship. This stoicism can also be seen in Modern era,.After World 2 Two, the country had to come to terms with the fact it had won, and yet had lost so much,Fear and grief were present, in spite of that the national narrative of strength and bravery did not fade and Britons stood alone against that.
