18th & 19th Century British Prose
This is a huge section considering it covers the real birth of the novel, as well as the explosion of Victorian lit. Chances are that ETS is going to demand little of you in terms of knowing 18th century British novels, but they will want you to know your Brontes and your Hardy. Remember: the best way to study for long works like these is to memorize the names of the characters and a brief plot outline. I try to provide those things here in as concise a manner as possible.
