Historical Fiction Setting

If I were to write a historical fiction novel (and I do hope to someday!), I think that I would set it during the British Raj. I've always been drawn to the Victorian era and to the vibrant culture of India, so I think that I would have a positively splendid time researching this setting for my novel. I would include mention of Queen Victoria and King Albert, as they were the distant but highly influential rulers of the vast British Empire; and I would also possibly integrate Viscount Charles Canning, the first viceroy of the British Raj, because he was the first to undertake representing the British Empire's authority in India. This would probably be a dark fantasy historical novel, as I seem to have a fondness for those sorts of stories; a blend of historical facts, a richly painted setting, universal characters, and fantastical elements.

Dickens' London

This was a very interesting game; I believe that I played it last year for Honors British Literature, which is probably why I subconsciously remembered certain facts and was able to navigate it without too much difficulty. I think that reading the article by Matthew Davis and watching the whimsical video on Dickens last week helped me a lot to remember various things, and overall I think that this game was a good way to learn more about/review Dickens.

Sidenote: Twice, I experienced immense frustration in trying to catch the colored characters with my mouse; they wouldn't hold still long enough for me to click on them!

Also, I think that the Dickens in my screenshot looks an awful lot like Leonardo di Caprio in Django Unchained.
