And there's nothing interesting in the 18th century except Tristram Shandy. The point of the Trinity is to be of epic scope or length and not something a normie could get into, also not something assigned in school. 17th and 18th century should be combined and include Tristram Shandy, Don Quijote and Paradise Lost.

I think Anna Karenina would be a better fit. W&P is too sententious and the /lit/ trilogies should be universal in scope.

But those are assigned in school.

For 17th century, I'd go with Francis Bacon's The New Atlantis
