okay. Jane Austen is your go-to for period pieces. "The" Jane Austen adaptation is the BBC series with Colin Firth. Also give the latest P&P film a try. It's very different from the BBC series, but it has one of the best character castings for Jane I've ever seen.

There's also "Mansfield Park" which is a bit of a tearjerker. It's got the 'quietly heroic female lead' down to a T. also check out "Emma" (not so much a quietly heroic female lead, but very entertaining), and "Sense & Sensibility" (the one with Alan Rickman).

the classic is of course Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte. There's a ton of adaptations floating around, some better than others.

some "kid" books I'd recommend that are period pieces:
Anne of Green Gables by L.M. Montgomery (there was a TV adaptation of this!)
Pollyanna by Eleanor H. Porter (there was a 1960s film adaptation by Disney)

other period recs: The Barchester Chronicles, and Cranford (based on the books written by Elizabeth Gaskell, same author who wrote North & South!)

another show you might want to watch is "Downton Abbey" (it's basically a 1920s soap opera, very entertaining. Maggie Smith is awesome in it!)

Netflix recommended me Mansfield Park after watching North & South so I'll definitely give it a shot. I love crying over things. ;3;

I've both read and watched Anne of Green Gables! So good, omg.

I've always turned away from Downton Abbey but that was before I realized how much I apparently like these things so yes, I'll be watching! Especially for Maggie Smith, ah!

Thank you so much, anon! <3

lol no problem!

I'm not even like a major fan of this stuff, it's just my mum is a period-piece fangirl and has a million editions of Jane Austen and all the TV series ever so I've just absorbed it through osmosis. (me and my siblings can quote the BBC miniseries of P&P word-for-word, that's how much she's watched it.)

I gotta warn you, Pollyanna is a tearjerker as well. I didn't want to like it because of the name, and the whole "overly cheerful protagonist thing", but it pulled me in and then ripped my heart out.

OH! also similar to Pollyanna: What Katy Did, Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm, and Little House on the Prairie (they're American, not British.)

shit I forgot to add some Jane Eyre adaptations:

there was a 2011 film starring Mia Wasikowsa and Michael Fassbender

a 1983 BBC TV series starring Zelah Clarke and Timothy Dalton

and a 2006 BBC series starring Ruth Wilson and Toby Stephens

plus a shit-ton of others. sooooo many adaptations, but these are the ones I'm most familiar with. personally, I actually liked the 1983 adaptation the best, even if it is dated.

The 1983 BBC "Mansfield Park" is very good; more modern adaptations have tended to make Fanny Price feisty. Shudder.

The 1982 Ivanhoe is a bit earlier than the OP's preferred period, but Rebecca is as quietly heroic as anyone could wish.
