19th century Literature
I'd like to read something from this time period. I've only read a few books from this era, but I want more. I really like Oscar Wilde and I'm currently reading The Count of Monte Cristo but I'd like to have something next in line.
Any suggestions?
Alice

Anything and everything by Jules Verne. Journey to the Centre of the Earth is one of my alltime favorites. You don't really get to see what the culture is like of that time period though.

I studied the 19th Century novel last year, and it's an absolutely fascinating period in literature

Whoops, had Wilkie Collins in mind but forgot to mention him. Then there's John Buchan, Guy de Maupassant, Conan Doyle, Tolstoy, Victor Hugo, and Anton Chekhov.

It was published in this last century but it is based in the 19th century... try Murder on the Orient Express.
