If you liked Frankenstein, you should try her other book "The Last Man"...it's hard to find (I had to special order it through Barnes and Noble) but it's (IMHO) better than Frankenstein.

Just so you know, Austen died 20 years before Victoria was born, & Shelley wrote Frankenstein in 1817 and The Last Man in 1826 so they are both pre-Victorian as she didn't become Queen until 1837.
