DJ's 19th Century List

This list mainly focuses on the novel. Although there are some poets, I left a lot out and likewise with drama. Also I included some writers who were born in the 18th century, or who also wrote in the 20th century, but whose main influence was in the 19th century. By the same logic, I left out some writers who wrote in the 19th and 20th century but who are more associated with the 20th century.
