Aaaah and that's most of the brit lit I'm fond of :D Although I feel like a failure (especially AS a proper English major) to admit that I haven't read any Woolf ever. Or, come to think of it, any Lawrence. Though I have Sons and Lovers on my Kindle. Waugh, Forster and Maugham are my babies, tbh. I will have to look into Well of Loneliness, I had never heard of it! And it sounds like the proper and fascinating foil to all the male homo-eroticism of Waugh and Forster.

Thank you for all recommendations! I will seek them out. And I totally hear you both on authors and their formulas, even if you like them (GAIMAN, I am looking at you) and giving authors a chance. My first flirtation with Waugh was TERRIBLE (seriously never read Decline and Fall it is the devil) but a co-worker convinced me to read a novella of his, and then I fell head over heels.

(also my question about 'modern' was totally just because 'modern' is such a subjective term. I had history classes with the word "modern" in them that went back to the 1500's. Although I guess if you had been reading current stuff, they probably would be 'contemporary' rather than modern.)

Haha, no worries on the modern question. I actually knew exactly why you were asking since it differs between the practices as is and has apparently been under a lot of change in the last decade or so, according to what our professor said. I DID take a Brit Lit class for current stuff that was labeled 'contemporary,' and overall I much preferred that, although the sheer amount of oddness my professor subjected us to! I think a lot of the undergrads wanted to give up after The Passion of New Eve.

As for the recs, you're very welcome (AND OH BOY, DO I FEEL YOU ON GAIMAN)! It's how I feel about Lawrence since I first read his short stories and really liked those, and then read Women in Love and wondered what changed (same for Joyce!). I think I'm being a little hard on Forster since I did finish Passage and also chose it for the dreaded group project, but I think I will have to read something else of Woolf's if I like her (I'm also in your boat--I mostly took this class to catch up on stuff I had yet to read, since my undergrad lit classes were largely focused on one author).

Well of Loneliness is QUITE infamous in some circles, from what we read in class, so I hope it gives you a good read, even if I don't know how you'll react, nonny. It was a very nice foil by comparison to some of the other stuff. I even did my final paper on it.
