In the early 1800s, John Astor made the fateful decision to make good on his long-held dream of establishing a fur-trading company in the Northwest United States. Astor later convinced Washington Irving, one of the most important figures in nineteenth-century American literature, to create a non-fiction account of the operation's origins. The result, Astoria, is a fascinating work of history. Astoria is a history book published in 1836 by Washington Irving. The full title being "Astoria: Or, Enterprise Beyond the Rocky Mountains". The book was commissioned by John Jacob Astor as an official history of his company's expedition to Oregon in 1810–1812. The book became a bestseller in 1836 and at the time was required reading in some schools. Astoria has been read as a vivid and fascinating history, comparable indeed to the finest of romances, but rooted in the rough and hardy life of trapping, hunting, and exploration.

Thomas Hardy’s final novel “Jude the Obscure” began as a serial publication on December 1894 before being published in book form the following year. It is the story of its titular character Jude Fawley, a young lower-class man with dreams of being a scholar, and his relationships with his wife, Arabella, and his free-spirited cousin, Sue Bridehead. The novel follows the life of Jude from his youth living in a village in southern England where he works in a bakery and studies Classical Greek and Latin in his spare time with hopes of one day becoming a scholar at Christminster, a fictional city modeled after Oxford. His dreams are dashed however when he becomes ensnared by deceit into marriage with Arabella Donn, a coarse and superficial girl. What follows is a classic and tragic tale that plays upon many themes, principally of which is the idea that one’s ruinous downfall is the product of having lived a sinful life. Having been harshly criticized in its day for its scandalous portrayals, “Jude the Obscure” has since been recognized as one of Hardy’s finest and most intricate works.

本套书包括《艾格妮丝·格雷3册》和《威尔德菲尔庄园的房客6册》共9册。《艾格妮丝·格雷》Agnes Grey is the debut novel of English author Anne Bront? (writing under the pen name of Acton Bell), first published in December 1847, and republished in a second edition in 1850. The novel follows Agnes Grey, a governess, as she works within families of the English gentry. Scholarship and comments by Anne's sister Charlotte Bront? suggest the novel is largely based on Anne Bront?'s own experiences as a governess for five years. Agnes, her sister Mary, and their mother all try to keep expenses low and bring in extra money, but Agnes is frustrated that everyone treats her like a child. To prove herself and to earn money, she is determined to get a position as a governess. Eventually, she obtains a recommendation from a well-placed acquaintance, is offered a position, and secures her parents' permission. With some misgivings, she travels to Wellwood house to work for the Bloomfield family. The choice of central character allows Anne to deal with issues of oppression and abuse of women and governesses, isolation and ideas of empathy. An additional theme is the fair treatment of animals. Agnes Grey also mimics some of the stylistic approaches of bildungsromans, employing ideas of personal growth and coming to age, but representing a character who in fact does not gain in virtue.《威尔德菲尔庄园的房客》This work is the second and final novel by the English author Anne Bront?. It was first published in 1848 under the pseudonym Acton Bell. Probably the most shocking of the Bront?s' novels, it had an instant and phenomenal success, but after Anne's death her sister Charlotte prevented its re-publication. Most critics now consider The Tenant of Wildfell Hall to be one of the first feminist novels. The novel is framed as a series of letters from Gilbert Markham to his friend and brother-in-law about the events connected with the meeting of his wife. A mysterious young widow arrives at Wildfell Hall, an Elizabethan mansion which has been empty for many years, with her young son and a servant. She lives there in strict seclusion under the assumed name Helen Graham and soon finds herself the victim of local slander. Refusing to believe anything scandalous about her, Gilbert befriends Helen and discovers her past. In her diary, Helen depicts her husband's physical and moral decline through alcohol and her desperate attempts to save their son from his influence in the dissipated aristocratic society from which she ultimately flees. The depiction of marital strife and women's professional identification has also a strong moral message mitigated by the authors's belief in universal salvation.

The History of Pendennis: His Fortunes and Misfortunes, His Friends and His Greatest Enemy (1848–1850) is a novel by the English author William Makepeace Thackeray. The novel took two years for him to write. Set in 19th century London, England, this novel features a young English gentleman Arthur Pendennis born in the country who sets out to seek his place in life and society. The novel portrays his love affairs with the callous Blanche Amory and poor Fanny. Both of them marry other people, and Pendennis finally weds Laura Bell, his adopted sister, who had always loved him. The characters include the snobbish social hanger-on Major Pendennis and the tipsy Captain Costigan. Miss Amory and Sir Francis Clavering are somewhat reminiscent of Becky Sharp and Sir Pitt from Vanity Fair. In line with other Thackeray's works, Pendennis offers an insightful and satiric picture of human character and aristocratic society. The masterful characterizations include the snobbish Major Pendennis and the tipsy Captain Costigan.

H. Lawrence called it "one of the strangest and most wonderful books in the world" and "the greatest book of the sea ever written".

George Eliot's novel The Mill on the Floss, orginally published in 1860 as three volumes. Maggie Tulliver is the protagonist and the story begins when she is 9 years old. Maggie Tulliver’s entire life has been spent in the shadow of Dorlcote Mill on the River Floss with her beloved older brother, Tom.The Mill on the Floss is the story of Maggie Tulliver’s search for love, and acceptance by her family and community, and of her need for intellectual and spiritual growth. Her relationship with her older brother Tom, and her romantic relationships with Philip Wakem and with Stephen Guest constitute the most significant narrative threads. Misunderstood Maggie Tulliver is torn. Her rebellious and passionate nature demands expression, while her provincial kin and community expect self-denial.

小说梗概是这样的，格雷先生是一幅油画里的男模特。画家姓郝沃特，他对格雷的帅气英俊的长相所迷倒。他自认为，如此的帅气英俊，完全可以引领一种新的画风。格雷通过画家郝沃特又结识了亨利·沃顿爵士。而沃顿爵士对享乐主义的人生态度，感到好奇与着魔。沃顿爵士认为，人活一生，*重要的也*值得追求的，就是拥有美貌与满足肉欲。这一观，格雷听了去，并走了心。他认识到自己的美貌终将会消失。于是，格雷想出一折：他想出售自己的灵魂，以换取画中的他而不是现实生活中的他，替代他始变老直至死去。这一愿望居然达成了。格雷于是在实际生活中追求各种各样的不洁的道德上有巨大瑕疵的生活，同时，还能保持自己的容颜不老，帅气英俊。只不过画中人，也就是他自己，则按常人一样变老，而且，纪录下了他的每一次恶行。 在享乐主义观念作用下，他始追求一个姓斯比尔的姑娘。她是莎士比亚《罗密欧与朱丽叶》剧中的朱丽叶的扮演者。只不过，她所在的剧团并不是什么有名的剧团，而是一个名不见经传的小演出团体，只是在当时伦敦的贫民窟附近的破烂台子上演出。格雷追求了没多久，便始求婚了。欣喜若狂的斯比尔姑娘天真地以为自己找到了真命天子，给格雷起了个甜甜的绰号：迷人的王子，自己则完全陷了盲目的爱情漩涡里不能自拔。但她哥哥则看出门道，一直不断地向她发出警告，并威胁格雷说，假如他在游戏人生，玩弄他妹妹的感情的话，他会宰了格雷。 格雷邀请郝沃特和亨利·沃顿爵士去看斯比尔的演出，斯比尔由于过度紧张，结果演砸了。二人一致认为格雷是昏了头，主要是看上斯比尔的娇美的面容，而不是表演才能而爱上斯比尔的。格雷感到十分尴尬，于是，对斯比尔冷言相对，斥责她说表演才能才是她应该具备的美，而不是其他。没有表演才能，她对于他而言一钱不值。 回到家后，格雷发现那幅油画里的人物表情的确有了变化。他的愿望的确达成，画中人的面目表情里始含有某种嘲讽的冷酷感。感受到良心发现，格雷决定向斯比尔道歉，并修复关系以达到和好如初。但太晚了，她已经自杀。这时他才发现原来自己的一生所前行的方向到底是什么。原来，自己已经在无耻的人生道路上一路狂奔了下去，他始吸食鸦片，斯比尔的哥哥也在到处找寻他的踪影，要他偿还斯比尔的血债。*后，他的秘密终于被揭穿，毁灭的命运在等待着他。小说结尾时，他将一把刀插自己的胸膛而死。
