4. 375
   Much Ado About Nothing door William Shakespeare (Shuffy2)

   Shuffy2: Beatrice and Benedick & Lizzie and Darcy- there are some similarties! This is my favorite of Shakespeare's comedies! Two characters who love to spar with words, 2 couples who love each other, and a bad guy! Perfect mix...

6. 314
   De abdij van Northanger door Jane Austen (Bonzer)
7. 303

   Shuffy2: Mr. Darcy and Mr. Thornton are both of the same cloth, a love story you can really sink into!

8. 281
   The Annotated Pride and Prejudice door Jane Austen (humouress)

   humouress: For those who love Pride and Prejudice, and want to know more about the context it was written in, the annotated version adds depth to Jane Austen's work.

9. 274
   Wives and Daughters door Elizabeth Gaskell (dawnlovesbooks)
10. 275
    Cranford door Elizabeth Gaskell (chrisharpe)

    chrisharpe: Both novels offer a similar sort of wry look at the foibles of the English classes in the 18th / 19th centuries. Both are so carefully observed and deliciously written that they remain classics.

11. 214
    Het huis van vreugde door Edith Wharton (SandSing7)

    SandSing7: Wharton is as American as Austen is British. Read both works for a comparitive "across the pond" view on the novel of manners.

15. 82
    Some Tame Gazelle door Barbara Pym (lilithcat)

    lilithcat: Some Tame Gazelle was Barbara Pym's first book, but I would really recommend any of her works to admirers of Jane Austen. She has the same sensibility, the same grasp of the English social order and the English village, and populates her books with very similar people. But, more important, she has the same sense of humor, and the same marvelous touch with comedies of manners.… (meer)

    Verstand en gevoel door Jane Austen (spiralsheep)

    spiralsheep: I can't believe there isn't already a rec for this, the closest possible read-a-like.

17. 51
    The Cambridge Introduction to Jane Austen door Janet Todd (aynar)
18. 73
    Diary of a Provincial Lady door E. M. Delafield (lydiabarr)

    lydiabarr: Austen and Delafield are often compared...both have shrewdly observational sense of humor and an elaborately deadpan style. I love them both.
