Too many to list, but Jane Austen, George Eliot (Mary Ann Evans), Charlotte and Emily Bronte, and Virginia Woolf are particular favorites. Willa Cather wrote unparalleled novels about frontier life and the immigrant experience in America. Then there's the wicked wit and wisdom of Flannery O'Connor. Who else could write a screamingly funny story about a family that ends up murdered by an escaped prison convict? No one but O'Connor. Read her story "A Good Man is Hard to Find." Read all of her stories, and her two novels, Wise Blood and The Violent Bear it Away, read her book of essays Mystery and Manners, and finally read her collected letters.
