Inspired by pom's classical music threads and by a stray comment in the LRB that the 1840's were a great decade for novels. Have any of us even read half of these? Let's poll them anyway and be legends.
This is cribbed from wikipedia - I've only included books by authors I've heard of in the US, UK and France categories. Outside of that I've included whatever I could find as the rest of the world needs the support.
