Used to read lots of classics but got out of the habit and want to pick it up again. I've always enjoyed Elizabeth Gaskell and will re-read her books favourites being North and South/ Mary Barton/ Ruth. Read some Dickens and also Wilkie Collins/ also George Eliot
Never really read Thomas Hardy or Anthony Trollope - any particular books I should look at? or in fact recommendations for any other writers around that period?
