MuggleMagic Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 I'm asking on behalf on my boyfriend. He wants a book that was written in the 1800's and is about life at that time. I've done a little google search but I know you guys will be a much better help It doesn't matter if it is long or short. Any suggestion will do. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Univerze Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 Well you could always check this page out: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_years_in_literature and then scroll down till you get to the 1800's bit, there's quite a few books in there. A lot of these books are set in the time they're written in, though I don't quite know what you're looking for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pickle Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 The closest I have is The Voices of Morebath: Reformation and Rebellion in an English Village but its 16th Century From Amazon ~: The Voices of Morebath is the story of a hamlet buried deep in the heart of Devon. The parish priest, Sir Christopher Trychay remained in office through the troubled times of the mid-16th century. During his long tenure he carefully recorded the impact of national events in his ordinary rural community I have read about half of it and its a fascinating read he might want to go down these lines although not strictly written in the 18th Century this is an account of writings so there may be others like this.

chrysalis_stage Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 You could always look on the list of 1001 books you must read before you die as it has a list of books from the 1800's http://www.listology.com/list/1001-books-you-must-read-you-die Not sure which ones portray life exactly in the 1800's....Isn't Dracula - Bram Stoker, set in the 1800's and was written then too....
