Andrew requests: "I'm planning to choose the following topic for a paper in my History class: The Victorian Era through Film. So, I would very much appreciate if you could name me some films for "research." Thanks a lot!" There are dozens, if not hundreds, of films set in the Victorian era (c. 1837-1901), including adaptation of Dickens, Eliot and other Victorian novelists, biographical films of Victorian-era personalities (several films on Oscar Wilde, Ken Russell's DANTE'S INFERNO--about the Pre-Raphaelites, etc., etc.), but here are a few other categories to think about: Films that depict the Queen herself--eg, THE MUDLARK (with Alec Guiness as Disraeli and Irene Dunne as the queen. [or the Nazi propaganda film OOM PAUL that depicts her has the villainess behind the Boer War] Films that are set in the Victorian era and question its mores: the Pinter/ Reisz adaptation of THE FRENCH LIEUTENANT'S WOMAN is a prime example. Films that are not set in England proper but deal with "Victorian" mores: eg., STAGECOACH, which is (in part) both a political allegory about the Depression and a satire on "Victorian" morality. By now, you probably know of the new release, MR. BROWN, about Victoria's supposed infatuation with her Scottish aide.
