What books can I compare for my English Literature coursework?

Im doing AQA English literature and need to compare a modern book to a pre-1900s book. I really want to used A Little Life for the modern book - any ideas on a pre-1900s book that may share similar themes that I could write my essay on?

ooh that sounds really cool! I just started coursework so don't actually know exactly what I might need for it. do you have any quotes/critics or anything really that you think might relate to a little life? thank you!!
