Umm, late 18th century is not Victorian -- well, what the heck is that period called?
Later than powdered wigs? Prior to Empire waist dresses?
Jayne, your mouth is talking. You might wanna look to that.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
It *is* sort of like vidding LOTR to an Evanescence song, isn't it?
Bring Me To Life is SO about Elizabeth and Darcy. It's THEM!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Edwardian? (Edit: Nope, wrong direction.)
You know, my grasp of that period of history is pretty much solely from Austen, O'Brian, and the Sharpe movies.

Wikipedia says:
The term (Regency) is sometimes used in various ways to include years surrounding the decade of the formal regency. If "Regency" is considered to be transitional between "Georgian" and "Victorian" then it would refer to the entire period from approximately 1811 until the accession of Queen Victoria, encompassing the actual period of Regency, along with George IV's reign in his own right and that of his brother William IV. If "Regency" is contrasted with "Eighteenth century", then it could include the whole period of the Napoleonic wars.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
There really wasn't much between regency and powder wigs. I thought the directiore/empire/regency was in fact a reaction to the scary clothes before the French Revolution.
So these silhouettes help?

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Umm, late 18th century is not Victorian
You are right. I can't count. I thought you were saying late 1800s.
I haven't seen any footage below the waist, so I don't nkow if Keira Knightley is wearnig a Big Butt dress. But if she is, then Wossname from Spooks ought to be wearing his hair in a ponytail, which he particularly isn't.
(Actually, he looks like crap, hairwise, but in artful fashion.)

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Georgian?
Is is Georgian --> Regency --> Victorian --> Edwardian?
I, too, only remember these in terms of books/movies instead of in any kind of political or historical context. Georgian is... uhm, not Richardson--I think he comes before. The period where "Restoration" is set in. Regency = Austen and Napoleonic War, Victorian = Brontes, Edwardian = E.M. Foster, etc.

If my memories of Blackadder serve me correctly, then yes.
