Any experts who know of famous 19th century English composers?

Any symphonies or classical/gothic sounding titles of songs that exist still (or something similar)?

I’m presenting a project on the Victorian Era portrayed in literature and I wanted to add background music to my presentation; any knowledge of this specific subject would be much appreciated (even if it is only one song)

Everyone seems to think so! I’ve never thought of myself as being one, but I guess others perceive me to be. I asked my best friend why she thought I was, and she basically gave me this check list of reasons:
-I’m pale (though I prefer to think of myself as fair)
-I have naturally dark straight hair that is currently almost to my waist
-I have a Nightmare Before Christmas Bedset (hey, it’s cute and I got it off eBay) and dark grey walls
-I don’t like to socialize and have few friends (by choice)
-I’m a writer, and love art and literature
-My favorite bands are Nine Inch Nails, Flyleaf, Evanescence, Korn and Seether. But I do listen to other stuff.
- and I love horror movies

I don’t dress goth though. Granted, I’ve been known to wear a few Hot Topic tees, but my style is actually pretty girly. And I don’t wear dark make-up! In fact, I wear like, no make-up.

Would you consider me Goth?

My idea of beauty is Tattoos, such as henna styled ones crawling up someones back/arm/legs.

I also view short (not butchered) but short hair as beautiful as well as different peircings:

I think long dresses/short raggy ones are pretty as well as some Gothic art and literature. Yes I’m gothic if you haven’t noticed.
