It’s Weekend, Let’s Read: Who is the author with more works in the Guardian’s list of 100 greatest novels of all time?

The Guardian made a list of the 100 greatest novels of all time. You can see the list here, with links to how Guardian’s made it. First place of the list is George Eliot with Middlemarch, but I thought to check which authors had more works in this list. And it’s Virginia Woolf with five books!

Second place in the number of the novels in the list are Jane Austen and Charles Dickens, both with four books.

Best part? There all in public domain, so you want to start with any of these four authors, right here, right now, head to Project Gutenberg and let’s read!

It’s Weekend, Let’s Read: Pride & Prejudice by Jane Austen

Pride and Prejudice was first published on 28th of January of 1813 and is one of my (and so many others) favorite novels of all time. If you never read it, do not go thinking it is a love story. Well, it’s kind of, but it’s so much more: It’s a comedy of manners and social criticism.

“I must confess that I think her as delightful a creature as ever appeared in print, and how I shall be able to tolerate those who do not like her at least I do not know.“
Jane Austen in a letter to her sister Cassandra on the 29th of January of 1823

Elizabeth Bennet is one of my favourite characters: she is intelligent, witty, has no problems to recognise she was mistaken, but also she embodies women independence and resistance. We can see this when she decides to walk to Netherfield, instead of waiting for the carriage, to check on her sister or, when in Rosings, Elizabeth is playing the piano and says to Mr. Darcy:

“My fingers,” said Elizabeth, “do not move over this instrument in the masterly manner which I see so many women’s do. They have not the same force or rapidity, and do not produce the same expression. But then I have always supposed it to be my own fault—because I would not take the trouble of practising. It is not that I do not believe my fingers as capable as any other woman’s of superior execution.”

There are many editions of Pride & Prejudice, some with introductions or annotated that give more insights on the text, but if you want to read it right now, head over to Project Gutenberg that has the edition with the illustrations by Hugh Thomson. You can read it or download it here.

@kawulf Really interesting about all the genealogical publications (I recently learned of Collins's peerage, first published in 1709 & being updated in #JaneAusten's day by #EgertonBrydges) - and of claims to authenticity based on "#manuscripts, #records, old wills".

Were many of those published? The only one with which I'm familiar is "A Collection of All the Wills..." by #JohnNichols in 1780: this came up in a recent conversation here:

@Tony_Meredith
When I first read your question I thought a connection improbable; after some reflection & googling that changed!
The Wikipedia page on #JaneAusten was helpful, & thinking about the conversational & subscription networks of a force of nature like #JohnNichols - Jane's father & #WarrenHastings might well have been typical of the customers in this age of gentleman #bibliophiles and #antiquarians?
