i know, "the long 19th century" To avoid quibbles about the start and end dates, i say we stick to 1800-1899.

Mark Twain . It's a shame if some snobby lit person never read anything by him.
Poe is also very good as well.
Rules specified no Americans. We have to give the French a fighting chance.

I've already said that since Wilde is Irish, he doesn't count!
To avoid quibbles, we've said that anyone who lived under the crown and wrote in English counted. Bascially all English language literature, minus the Americans. And for this purpose Henry James is an American, no matter how much time he spent in England.

web sources give both dates. I think it was published in serial form first, and perhaps that is the confusion.

He was a Pole, and became a naturalized Brit as an adult. He became a rabid apologist of the British Empire, oddly enough (despite his objections to the Belgian variant).

I am shocked, -shocked- to find that Wilde went unmentioned for so long. He really is an absolutely splendid writer, in all of the styles that he took up.
I really ought to read more of Hardy, and more of all of these authors, especially considering I'm an english major... *bows head shamefully*

"To count as British, they have to live under the crown, and write in English - so Scots, Canadians, Aussie, yes, but no Americans. French can be from anywhere, as long as they write in French."

I hate to let my side down, but Thomas Hardy's 'Trumpet Major' was the most tedious and excruciating book I ever read.
The best thing Thomas Hardy did was to not finish the job he was assigned at St Pancras cemetry in North London. When the railway was built he was tasked with moving many of the inhabitants and their stones. I'm not sure where the corpses went, but the headstones are still there - stacked round a tree whose roots have been entagled in them. It even more gothic than the St Pancras Station hotel.
