One of the most well - known Victorian novels with a strong sense of romance is 'Jane Eyre' by Charlotte Brontë. It tells the story of a young governess, Jane, and her complex relationship with Mr. Rochester. Their love story is filled with passion, challenges, and a deep emotional connection. Another is 'Pride and Prejudice' by Jane Austen, which although written a bit earlier than the height of the Victorian era, still had a great influence.
