Important Books From Seventeenth Century Europe

A mix of books from all genres: plays, poetry, novels, memoir, history, science, philosophy, etc. Ive only included books that are available in English. Authors are limited to three appearances, although some like Shakespeare, Moliere, and Locke could've had much more. The list is of course shaped by my interests and biases, but I've tried to be fairly comprehensive.

If there's anything you think I left out, please make your own list! I'd love to use it.
