Okay so for my British Literature Final our essay includes writing on the opinions of different eras about topics like God and nature and stuff, and out of the novels we read, many of them can be classified into more than one era.
The eras are:

Romanticism

Gothic Romanticism

Victorianism

Those are the ones I need help with. The novels that could go under those are Wuthering Heights, Frankenstein, Jane Eyre, and Les Miserables.

Help me please! I googled like every possible thing and it didn't give me any conclusions as to which were which.
 
Frankenstein - Gothic Romanticism
Jane Eyre - Victorianism but with Romantic qualities.
Wuthering Heights - written in Victorian era, but there are distinct Romantic ideals/characteristics.
Les Miserables - This one is more difficult--I haven't read it. I'm leaning toward Victorianism because of the poverty, etc.
 
I don't know about Les Miserables, but I'm fairly sure that:
Jane Eyre: Romanticism & Victorianism
Frankenstein: Gothic Romanticism
I'm not sure about Wuthering Heights either, but I'm guessing Romanticism.

Hope that helps.
