Trollope: Well, the rest of the Palliser novels are good, though The Eustace Diamonds is my favorite. Of the Barchester novels, I like best Barchester Towers and Framley Parsonage (which is what [livejournal.com profile] papersky's Tooth and Claw is based on). Probably my favorite of the standalone novels is He Knew He Was Right.

Have you read any Elizabeth Gaskell? She's a lesser-known but wonderful Victorian novelist, very concerned with social issues. Mary Barton is a good place to start, and I also love her last novel, Wives and Daughters, dearly.
