Hello! I’m looking to get into more 19th and 20th century literature, but I think I likely need more historical background to truly appreciate the nuances and broader meaning in the novels I’m planning on reading.
Here’s my reading list, sorted by year, I’d love suggestions of non-fiction historical books to complement them:
Pride and Prejudice – Jane Austen, 1813
Bleak House – Charles Dickens, 1853
1984 – George Orwell, 1949
Fahrenheit 451 – Ray Bradbury, 1953
Things Fall Apart – Chinua Achebe, 1958
Slaughter-House Five – Kurt Vonnegut 1969
Thank you so much!
