Jane Austen is the second greatest writer in the English language, second only to Shakespeare.

My favorite is Jane Austen because I've read all of her novels multiple times and love them all.
But there are lots of others who deserve to be read!
Deerbrook by Harriet Martineau
all of Elizabeth Gaskell's novels - North and South is my favorite
Yes, the Bronte sisters
Middlemarch by George Eliot (this is a favorite of mine, but I admit to not really liking her other novels)
Louisa May Alcott - she wrote more than Little Women!
Lady Audley's Secret by Mary Elizabeth Braddon
Anne by Constance Fenimore Woolson (this blew me away - by an American author - she has a statue on Mackinaw Island in Michigan)
Scandinavian author Selma Lagerlof - I loved The Saga of Gosta Berling

Love her, but she's really 20th century.

Jane also. But the Brontë sisters deserve a mention.

Jane Austen. But Middlemarch has a special place in my heart.
