To be honest with you, besides the mystery genre I haven't come across any writers that produce work in Victorian style prose, and certainly not using typical Victorian narrative structure. Anne Perry and her detective novels are sort of close, I guess, and maybe a novel I read a ways back called The Alienist, by Caleb Carr.
I don't think publishers are interested in replicating the style and voice of the likes of Charlotte Bronte and Thomas Hardy... it just wouldn't sell in today's market.
