1. Vanity Fair (William Makepeace Thackeray)

《荒凉之屋》查尔斯·狄更斯
Bleak House is among Dickens novels, uniquely original in its alternation of first-person past-tense chapters with a concurrent third-person account in present tense.

3. Wuthering Heights (Emily Bront?)
《呼啸山庄》艾米莉·勃朗特
Wuthering Heights is 'powered by more psychological energy than any book ever written'.Readers admire Wuthering Heights because of 'its layered narrative structure', because it is a work of incredible imagination, and because it is far more than a love story. The story shows 'the eternal rocks beneath' our fleeting desires.

4.Great Expectations (Charles Dickens)
《远大前程》查尔斯·狄更斯

《远大前程》或许是最地道的英国小说。《远大前程》有狄更斯的所有经典元素：讨人欢喜却并不完美的角色、主要故事情节能牵住时局、副线情节串起道德与文化，是部情节精彩的爱情故事作品。
5. Middlemarch (George Eliot)
《米德尔马契》乔治·艾略特
A novel of great characters, it's an even greater novel of ideas and ideals. Middlemarch is the greatest social and psychological novel ever written in English.
这部小说人物角色卓越，更精妙之处在于其想法与理念。《米德尔马契》是迄今最伟大的英文社会心理学小说。
