Well, I could not find links to the adorable-r ones posted online! *reasonable* ALL THE CLOSE-UPS OF MYRTLE ARE ADORABLE THOUGH. I hold to this statement.
"Contemporary" as in Victorian! Sample prose: Among my mother's books I had once discovered a volume of stories by a gentleman named Mr Poe, who lives in Her Majesty's American colonies. There was one, The Premature Burial, which gave me nightmares for weeks after I read it, and I remember thinking that there could be no fate more horrible than to be buried alive, and wondering what type of deranged and sickly mind could have invented such a tale. But as I lay there immobilised in a jar on the wrong side of the Moon with only a ravening caterpillar for company I realised that Mr Poe was actually quite a cheery, light-hearted sort of chap, and that his story had been touchingly optimistic.
Hahaha I also love the Regency but there is so much Regency stuff out there that my contrarian soul sometimes keeps wanting to demand RESTORATION and ENLIGHTENMENT instead.
. . . but also Tudors! And Revolution-era France! and and and basically HISTORY *____*
