And, for a laugh, there's Edward Bulwer-Lytton's 'Zanoni' - some (maybe all?) of it is online via google books or a similar service - it is truly dire. There is a prize for bad writing called the 'Bulwer-Lytton prize' to commemorate the sheer awfulness of his prose. I think he is responsible for the line 'it was a dark and stormy night', too.
