I like to think it's a Steampunk setting - Victorian era with modern technology. Examples and information can be found here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steampunk

Good points. Computers where introduced in the 1950's, and that's 30 years later. I'm pretty sure the Baude.'s lives are not set in the Victorian times, because people have been saying that ASOUE takes place in Australia, but it can't of if we're saying that they lived in the Victorian times, which was in th 1800's, but Australia was only established in the 1700's. In TWW, Aunt Josephine was afraid of the heater, telephone, and stove which are all electrical appliances, that they certainly not have had in the 1800's. I don't know. If it does take place in the 1800's, then most of the mechanical items are anachronistic.

Indeed, and somehow, I doubt Lemony would do that. And it isn't another world or universe cos of the famous authors and poets he names. Unless its a parralel universe or something. I doubt it.
