2.The Meaning of Night: A ConfessionThe Meaning of Night: A Confession
from W. W. Norton
Price: $10.17

Customer Review:
If rating on the author's eloquence and choice of words alone, I would rate this book with five stars. However, beyond the eloquence and beauty of the words, my hopes for a story with a great plot or the promised surprises were lost. This is an extremely slow-moving story written by someone with a... more info

3.Hard Times (Victorian Collection)Hard Times (Victorian Collection)
from Assembled Stories
Price: $40.11

Customer Review:
Charles Dickens was a great writer. A simple statement, easily and often made, but its correctness is confirmed and enlarged with each story that I read.
He was so good at what he did, and was so well-loved in his time, and so often imitated, that he is easily dismissed or parodied. No matter,... more info

5.Wives and DaughtersWives and Daughters
from B&R Samizdat Express
Price: $0.99

Customer Review:
Having exhausted Austen for the time being and seeing that Cranford was funny and touching I began reading the Wordsworth Classics edition of Wives and Daughters. For about 300 pages I was thinking this is really good but at about page 385 nothing seemed to be jelling so I put it down for a few days... more info

from Broadview Press

Customer Review:
This book was delivered quickly. I have not had time to read much of it but what I have read is very interesting and informing. However, this book is a paperback that really should have been a hardback. Considering its larger dimensions, being a paperback it is hard to hold. Otherwise it is a... more info

7.Jude the Obscure (Dover Thrift Editions)Jude the Obscure (Dover Thrift Editions)
from Dover Publications
Price: $5.00

Customer Review:
Although Jude The Obscure may see somewhat depressing dark, and gothic I did enjoy the story of the character Jude. He admired his schoolteacher as a boy and wanted so bad to go to Christminister and become a scholar. The fact that Jude is a gentleman allows women like Arabella and Sue to stray him... more info

8.The Oxford Book of Victorian Ghost StoriesThe Oxford Book of Victorian Ghost Stories
from Oxford University Press, USA
Price: $15.99

Customer Review:
This is an exceptional anthology of Victorian ghost stories; all are short stories which are easily read in a brief sitting. The book serves as a remarkable spyglass into another era, one wholly foreign to our own. I enjoy each creepy tale and find the mix of authors to be effectively selected and... more info

9.Victorian London Street Life in Historic PhotographsVictorian London Street Life in Historic Photographs
from Dover Publications
Price: $11.53

Customer Review:
The photographs are an incomparable resource--the first of their kind--and the articles rival Henry Mayhew's in depth, clarity, and coverage. These pictures will lead you into the intricate and fascinating lives of the lower classes of London, with information that simply isn't available elsewhere.... more info

10.Victorian People and Ideas: A Companion for the Modern Reader of Victorian LiteratureVictorian People and Ideas: A Companion for the Modern Reader of Victorian Literature
from W. W. Norton
Price: $19.57

Customer Review:
Did you ever read a book by an academic and think to yourself, "Gosh, I hope his lectures are better than his writing, or else I pity his students." I guarantee that thought won't occur to you while reading this wonderful work. Recognizing that the author, not inappropriately, chose to style it as a... more info
