Susannah Gunning. Memoirs of Mary
Anna Marie Mackenzie Slavery, or The Times
Eliza Parsons Castle of Wolfenbach. This is a fun, fast read that has the heroine moving all across Europe. There is murder, the heroine is actually stabbed at one point, and among the characters are an evil uncle out to seduce his niece, an abused wife, and some pirates.
Mary Robinson The Widow; or, A Picture of Modern Times
Charlotte Smith The Old Manor House. This for years was considered Smith's best novel, but I think the feminist revival of Smith and her reputation might elevate some of her other novels above this one. There is a sequel to the book, The Wandering of Warwick, which is shockingly inferior in style to this long novel. The Old Manor House is designed to create a bleak, desolate tone (a la Wuthering Heights), and it does so by describing the heroine's gradually increasing suffering and oppression. The novel, like so many of Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Homes stories, exposes the vices that can flourish in the lonely, isolated British manor. The hero's sufferings come as a blast of fresh air and relief in the novel: Orlando goes to fight on the British side in the American revolution and ends up wounded with several Indians in a rather inaccurately described American landscape.
Jane West The Advantages of Education (Reprinted by Garland Publications in their series, The Feminist Controversy in England) This is a didactic tale told with humor about two young female friends.
