What got me going was you saying that only the nominees had to be Victorian, because it made me think "well, of course all the Victorians are dead (or UNdead) by now."
I never stop to look at where an author is from when I'm reading a book. The only author I read regularly that I'm pretty sure is Victorian is Kerry Greenwood, because her mysteries are all set in Melbourne.
No. Retro-Hugos will not go back beyond the first Worldcon, so 1939 would be the earliest possible retro-Hugos.
