While, as a historian, along with other historians, one may posit for purposes of argument a 'long Victorian era' (just to get back at 'the long Eighteenth Century' people), from, say, the late C18th Evangelical revival to - what, 1914/1918/1939/1945/'between the end of the Chatterley ban/And the Beatles' first LP'? - the cavalier way people describe historical fiction is indeed irksome.

(And do not get me started on people's misconceptions of what actual Victorians were actually like.)

I have also posited that 'Regency fiction' inhabits a parallel universe, in which Prinny was in fact an undead horror (not that that doesn't make a lot of sense...) and was therefore in charge for a lot longer than in our time-line.
