He was instrumental in the development of French romanticism. I find him puerile, but the read can be fairly pleasant if you don't take him seriously.

I like Lorenzaccio because it (unwillingly) gives a good glimpse in teen angst

Joseph Conrad. Sorry, but I had to mention him, you'll understand why, I'm sure. But he's a borderline case. Heart of Darkness was published for the first time in 1899, Nostromo in 1904.

I am particularly fond of Thomas Hardy, apart from his first published novel, Desperate Remedies, which is utter bilge. The later works are best, where the world always crushes the heroes/heroines, and although I am not fond of it either, I have to admit that Under the Greenwood Tree is a good example of its genre. As I said, the later stuff is better, but I'm creeping too close to the 20th century here.

However, I'm not patriotic in the least, so have to admit that Zola pwns all.
I particularly like La Bete Humaine (sorry, can't work out how to include accents on my laptop ), Germinal and La Terre. I'm currently reading Au Bonheur des Dames, and have already got the good feeling that everything's going to go tits up for the heroes (see above).

To bring things on a level, I'll name Lady Audley's Secret by Mary Elizabeth Braddon. Nobody who has read this (or been forced to as part of their English & French degree) can deny that it is at least +10 to the French.

Id say he counts. With all due respect to your nick, I think Heart of Darkness is easily his best known work, at least here. (of course "Apocalypse Now" renewed interest)

I agree totally Sandman.

Scott was the Mills & Boon of the 19th century - absolute tripe!

Guy de Maupassant - novels weren't great, but the short stories are wonderful.

Hardy - i read Jude the Obscure, and saw the movie "Tess". Im not sure which side of 1900 these were written though.


Germinal - I dont know, I seem to recall it being a tad pedestrian. But then we've got Kipling here, and Germinal WAS a good read, I guess.

I dont know, I think Stevenson and Kipling are inevitable. And Scott, who may not look so good now, but was a huge seller at the time.

Jude the Obscure was first published in 1895, so all of his major works make it into the right century. I'm sorry, but I somehow lost the link I copied to a Hardy chronology.
The Dynasts isn't very good, but that's the wrong side of 1900.

Oh, and I was under the impression that William could (almost) actually write, and his brother Walter took all the glory because he was mopre photogenic.

You know, like Marlowe/Jonson/Bacon/Earl of Essex wrote the Shakespeare plays.
