前10里只有狄更斯（远大前程、Bleak House（中文译名是什么？）、大卫·科波菲尔）和萨克雷（名利场）是男作家，其他都是女的：乔治·艾略特（本名Mary Ann Evans，用男性化的笔名）、弗吉尼亚·沃尔芙、勃朗特姐妹、玛丽·雪莱。算入前20的话，也有一半是女作家的作品，加上简·奥斯汀。全部100部作品中，也有40%是女作家的作品。只有狄更斯（远大前程、Bleak House）、大卫·科波菲尔、Dombey and Son）、奥斯汀（傲慢与偏见、爱玛、Persuasion、感觉与情感）、沃尔芙（To The Lighthouse、Mrs Dalloway、The Waves、Orlando）有四部作品入选，又是两个女作家。这是相当高的女作家比例。

呃，这里全部是英国作家的作品，而不包括英国之外的英语文学作品。这是由世界上82个文学批评家评的，其中没有英国人，纯粹是从外国人（美国、加拿大、澳大利亚、丹麦、印度）的角度来评的。很有意思的评比法。

莎士比亚不写小说啊，James Joyce应该算爱尔兰人，不能算英国人。柯南道尔肯定算，不过没有入选。

劳伦斯的作品我看过的没上，没看过的上了。

其实柯南道尔在文学体裁和叙事结构上都有创造，不是只是个写 ...

这里面好些看过改编成电影的，原著倒真是没有怎么看。

哈哈，Dracula确实对现代文学有很大影响。Harry Porter没有入选，倒是有点意外。我是不喜欢这鬼鬼怪怪的东西，但挡不住喜欢的人多啊。Middlemarch有那么好看啊，正在犹豫是不是要找来看看呢。看到评论说，不是说这本书死长，而是不够长，那看来就是很引人入胜了。
