Period Dramas on Squidoo

add your relevant lens!

Period Dramas are movies, plays, or books, set around a time period in the past, such as the turn of the century.

Rules for joining your lens to this group: It must be about a Period Drama--a movie, play, or book set in a past time period, and it should have good content. I get many submissions for this group and most of them are spam, so make sure your title doesn't look spammy or I may end up rejecting the lens without looking at it.
