Ellie's List of 18th-Century Gems

This list includes several types of books, covering the 18th century. Most of them were created in the 1700's or very shorthly afterwards and were strongly influenced by the trends during "the long 18th century". There are gothic classics, sentimental and epistolary novels as well as satirical novels. There are also several non-fiction books, which cover up the lives of prominent figures during the same period and give a really good glimpse of life in this period. Let's check how many have you read?
