I think the term you want here is the Georgian era, under the last of the Kings George. the Edwardian era runs from the death of Victoria to the First World War.

Sounds very much like the Victorian era as well. There is an enormous amount of literature from that time that is similar. Amongst many others "The Pearl" -- a monthly underground printed around 1880. For a look at what your great-great grandparents thought erotic, and a better understanding of the sexuality of that era, there is an OCRed version at:

As copyright has long ago expired there is a lot of erotica from that period available on the net. For my own tastes it is of historical rather than sexual interest. Though I found it stimulating during adolescence when such material first started to become available in the mass market during the '60s.
