I've always been drawn to the Victorian era. (Which will hardly surprise anyone considering my handle, I'm sure.) There's something that fascinates me about it -- the literature, the fashions, the architecture, the history, etc. It's always felt to me like I was born in the wrong time period and that's where I was [i]supposed[/i] to exist. (Though, that said, I would really miss the convenience of computers/electronics...)
