100 Must-Read Lesser-Known Classics - Page 3

Here are my criteria: I decided on an arbitrary end date of 1950, in order to focus on earlier books and avoid the troublesome category of "modern classics." (What is a modern classic, anyway? Who knows!) I also tried to pick books that aren't commonly taught in high schools and colleges. Your mileage will vary with this one, obviously. But I wanted this list to be a source of suggestions for expanding your classics reading beyond the usual suspects from school. This list is also very much from a U.S. perspective: in other countries and cultures some of these books may be commonly read and taught. But since I'm familiar with the U.S. educational system, I'm using that as my starting point.So, here's the list! The books are arranged in chronological order, with the author's nationality and the publication date (in many cases the approximate date) listed.
