Loved hearing lots of titles and authors I hadn’t heard much about Faith! Hope you’re feeling better.
This is great! I need to see what I've read for this list, too! Wow! I love your edition of The Book of Nonsense! 😍I love seeing all of your old editions of some to these, too. Oh my goodness! I found an old copy of The Little Minister and bought it because Janelle had mentioned it! Wow! I need to get to that one soon.
What a lot of books you've read and how cool to list them in order of the years of publication!!
Yes it’s really interesting to see the range of your reading of Victorian literature. Thank you and I hope your health improves soon.
I read a Dickens a year until I read them all. 😊 Need to read more Trollope. Nice list! I have an old set of JM Barrie with The Little Minister. Good.
I think it's perfectly valid to include children's literature, plays and poetry in the list. I think I would also expand the scope to other countries in the same era. In particular, there's a great deal of influential American and French literature, as well as Russian, during that same time period. I know they aren't technically Victorian because they're not British, but they were all writing in the same era and influencing each other and those that came after.
I found this interesting. What’s your favorite Trollope book? Have you ever done a video where you talk about your top ten favorite Victorian novels?
Gosh, I will really have to think about these questions!
Edith Nesbit. Loved all her books as a kid. Still do. And Edward Eager’s written later influenced by her.
@@hanichay1163 I called her Elizabeth! Which is crazy because I have a granddaughter named Edith so it should have stuck in my mind. I have only read about 3 of her works. I want to read more.
