Other people have listed most of the ones I would have mentioned, except for ...
Wilkie Collins (The Moonstone, The Woman in White). His books, written in the late 19th century, were among the first detective novels and (I think) a great read.
Also, I don't see the Brownings listed (both Robert Browning and his wife, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, who suffered from ill health). He was the better known of the pair during their lifetimes, but she wrote some of the most beautiful sonnets I've ever read.
Late 19th century, Christina Georgina Rosetti wrote some lovely poetry, although it can be a bit depressing. ("When I am dead, my dearest, sing no sad songs for me...")
Her brother, Dante Gabriel Rosetti (the Pre-Raphaelite artist) also wrote quite a bit of poetry and prose that I have found quite compelling.
