19th-century novels

Novels written during the 1800s, a period that produced many enduring works of literary fiction.
The term typically evokes Victorian British novels—Dickens, the Brontës, Austen, Eliot—though it encompasses American, Russian, and French literature as well.
These works often feature omniscient narration, social commentary, and substantial length: I spent the summer reading 19th-century novels.
