Could anyone recommend any Victorian Typefaces?

Becca Lowe

I am currently doing a project in which I hope to use Victorian typefaces or typefaces based on the style of that particular era. Would anyone be able to recommend any nice or convincing typefaces which I could use?

Thanks

Arial and Century.

Nowhere near free, but you might also look at Letterhead fonts.
Their victorian category on the right doesn't really show everything that you might consider "victorian-influenced", just scan the entire list:

Might want to check out Dieter Steffmann and Paul J. Lloyd on the typOasis. As I recall, both have redrawn some period faces.
