further suggestions

A few more really not particularly fashionable writers that we might revive:

 

George Bernard Shaw (surely due something - it is the 150th anniversary of his birth this year, is anyone celebrating?)

George Gissing

J.B. Priestley, Good Companions

Jack Common, Kiddar's Luck

HG Wells, The History of Mr Polly

GK Chesterton, The Napoleon of Notting Hill; The Man Who Was Thursday; The Club of Queer Trades

Arnold Bennett, The Old Wives Tale
