'Oliver Twist' shows the harsh reality of life for the poor in Victorian times. And 'Vanity Fair' offers a satirical view of the upper - class society of the Victorian era.

I would also say 'Carmilla' by Sheridan Le Fanu. It was one of the early vampire stories and had a big impact on the development of vampire lore in Victorian horror.
