Recs if you like Adam Bede...

Based on the list/book published in 2006, general editor Peter Boxall.

I tried to find the latest version (2026).

Found this online - a reading list of a first year English course at Oxford University. Wanted to create this for my own enjoyment and figured someone else might like it too! I only added the fiction and poetry books and I also did not add any companions.

The last bit (from bottom up to Woolf’s Mrs Dalloway) are required reading - top half is recommended.

added as i read the book

classic novels where the depiction of rural, pastoral England is a notable feature
