To me, period novels practically do fall under the domain of fantasy, especially the kind that I like. Dickens is full of fairy-tale elements, and all of the Brontes leaned toward Gothic horror. Jane Austen probably comes as close to straightforward fiction as I get, and I don't even read that much of her.
