Most Read This Week In 19th Century

Novels or collections of stories set during the 19th century.

The 19th century (January 1, 1801 – December 31, 1900) was the century marked by the collapse of the Spanish, First and Second French, Chinese, Holy Roman and Mughal empires. This paved the way for the growing influence of the British Empire, the Russian Empire, the United States, the German Empire, the Second French Colonial Empire and the Empire of Japan, with the British boasting unchallenged dominance after 1815.

Charlotte Perkins Gilman
Of course I never mention it to them any more, - I am too wise, - but I keep watch of it all the same. There are things in that paper that nobody knows but me, or ever will.
Charlotte Perkins Gilman, The Yellow Wall-Paper by Charlotte Perkins Gilman: A Dual-Text Critical Edition

Se tutti combattessero soltanto in base alle loro convinzioni, la guerra non esisterebbe
