Hi,
This thread is meant to browse through the history of literature by letting forum members make their list of favourite literary works by period and genre. I would like to start with novels before 1800. So what are your favourite novels (or novellas) published before 1800? These are mine:
- Jonathan Swift - Gulliver's Travels (1726)
- Daniel Defoe - Robinson Crusoë (1719)
- Miguel de Cervantes - Don Quixote (1605)
- Voltaire - Candide (1759)
- Oliver Goldsmith - The Vicar of Wakefield (1766)
