What is your favorite Victorian novel? I used to be a major Victorian lit nerd. I even wrote Victorian fan fiction. I love the way they use language. It is pretentious sometimes but, I look past that. So, what is your favorite Victorian novel, you uncultured brutes?
Here's a small list of the Victorian Novels I've read..
A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens
Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen
Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen
Emma by Jane Austen
Northanger Abbey by Jane Austen
The Return of the Native by Thomas Hardy
Tess of the D’Urbervilles by Thomas Hardy
A Portrait of a Lady by Henry James
The Turn of the Screw by Henry James
Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte
Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte
Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier
My absolute favorite on that list is The Return of the Native. I like that Eustacia Vye, she's dark and mysterious in all the right ways. Hardy writes tragedies, masterfully.
