Unnamed Antagonists and Villains
I noticed a trend in some of my recent reads, in which authors chose to leave the disappointing or downright abusive and criminal men unnamed. I started researching this and expanded it a bit. I haven't read them all, and some don't fit quite as cleanly as my original 3 - Hamnet, A Dowry of Blood, and Bright Young Women, so please let me know if you feel some don't fit well at all, or if you have additional suggestions!!

Widening the Canon: Diverse Classics
Inspired by some comments I saw regarding classics being too straight white male oriented. There are lots of classics that aren't, but unfortunately don't always get as much recognition. Hoping this list might help those interested expand their range of classics. Non-exhaustive and taking suggestions!
