Let me tell you, linking to those books was a bear! In the end, I had to delete a couple of them, after going through fifty or sixty "suggestions" from Amazon. Oh, well, you missed out on my brilliance...
One more to add, though:
"The Mother's Recompense" by Edith Wharton. Not strictly nineteenth century, but certainly close enough -- sort of a transitional novel, showing the morality of the nineteenth century colliding wiht the twentieth. It's a heart-wrencher, for those of us who are not especially romantic. If you have someone to hold your hand through it, read it. Do not read it alone within six months of a breakup...
