Ah, but before the Victorians - who, I do agree, fit for Drusilla not just date-wise but because she very much is the Victorian daughter in her behavior - there were the Georgians, and before that, the Restoration, and before that, the Jacobeans, Elizabethans. Though she was born (as a human, not a vampire) into the Elizabethan period - wherein, of course, we have a Queen - I always saw Darla as more of a Restoration type, if we're talking frozen-in-period. Some cross between Barbara Castlemaine and Nell Gwyn, if you like. And of course the Restoration offers quite a lot of dominating women, and a very different attitude towards sexuality than the Victorian period.
