Advice

For an english project, I have to read three books that all have a theme. My theme is "Books that were part of an tenth-grade English curriculum in the 1900s." I've tried google, but I can't really find anything.
So can anyone help me find books that tenth graders would have read in the early early 1900s?

Huckleberry Finn - Mark Twain
Old times on the Mississippi - Mark Twain
The Mill on the Floss - George Eliot
The Rise of Silas Lapham - W.D. Howells
Heart of Darkness - Joseph Conrad
Seth Jones - Edward Ellis

The above are specifically American literature, but you may also want to consider -

Frankenstein - Shelley
Anything by Jane Austin
The Time Machine - H.G. Wells

I suppose it depends on the time periods you have to take into account - and whether you have to provide evidence that they were on the syllabus.
