I still have a few more doubts on some sentences. I hope you still have time to check them.
1) Victorian values consisted in (better: implied) the possession of a comforable house, chariable activity (not actions?) and attending the church regularly.
2) As to (the) content (??) English Romanticism focused above all on the individual as the subject of all meaningful experience.
3) Great emphasis was laid (not given?) on the experience of childhood.
4) Mr Gradgrid bases his life on facts disregarding (neglecting, but not "not paying attention to) emotions and imagination.
5) Sissy isn't influenced by school's education (or: by the school educational method?)
6)He is described as an unattractive man, always carrying a rule and a pair of scales.
7) Dickens uses some similes for the description of Coketown (or to describe Coketwon?), like the smoke which looks like snakes in the sky.
8) Before the Education Act churches had been in control of the educational facilities in England.
