19th Century Novels Epic Reading Challenge

The 1800s were such a complicated and turbulent time in history. But issues such as industrialization, slavery, colonizing, and war created great fodder for the developing literary form of the novel. Writers like Charles Dickens and Elizabeth Gaskell commented on social ills and inequalities in their time. Earlier, Jane Austen used wit and sarcasm to poke fun at the customs in her context.

I've picked 30 authors that represent the literary strength of that century.
