Back to the Classics Challenge 2020

I had a feeling that Back to the Classics wasn't coming back this year so I signed up for another classics challenge. But today, BttC announced it will be back. Having done this challenge for years now, it felt wrong to abandon them. I like many of its categories and will be in again. The more classics read, the better, and some categories overlap.

1. 19th Century Classic. Any classic book originally published between 1800 and 1899:

The Green Carnation--Robert Smythe Hitchens

2. 20th Century Classic. Any classic book originally published between 1900 and 1970. All books in this category must have been published at least 50 years ago. The only exceptions are books that were published posthumously but were written at least 50 years ago:
Infants of the Spring--Wallace Thurman 

3. Classic by a Woman Author:

The Bluest Eye--Toni Morrison

4. Classic in Translation. Any classic originally written in a novel other than your native language. You may read the book in your native language, or its original language (or a third language for all you polyglots). Modern translations are acceptable, as long as the book was originally published at least 50 years ago. Books in translation are acceptable in all other categories as well:

The Betrothed--Alessandro Manzoni

5. Classic by a Person of Color. Any classic work by a non-white author:

I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings--Maya Angelou

8. Classic with a Place in the Title. Any classic with the proper name of a place (real or ficitonal) - a country, region, city, town, village, street, building, etc. Examples include Notre Dame de Paris; Mansfield Park; East of Eden; The Canterbury Tales; Death on the Nile; etc:

Cranford--Elizabeth Gaskell

10. Classic About a Family. This classic should have multiple members of the same family as principal characters, either from the same generation or multiple different generations. Examples include Sense and Sensibility; Wives and Daughters; The Brothers Karamazov; Fathers and Sons; The Good Earth; Howards End; and The Makioka Sisters:

Twelfth Night--William Shakespeare

11. Abandoned Classic. Choose a classic that you started and just never got around to finishing, whether you didn't like it at or just didn't get around to it. Now is the time to give it another try:

The Portrait of a Lady--Henry James

12. Classic Adaptation. Any classic that's been adapted as a movie or TV series. If you like, you can watch the adaptation and include your thoughts in your book review. It's not required but it's always fun to compare:
