Any good romance novels from the 1800s?

I’m just wondering if anyone could recommend me any good romance novels from the 1800s. Maybe something like ”Jane Eyre”?
I usually just read normal teen romance books, chick-lit’s or vampire series. So I don’t really know much about classic books or what’s it called.
I already know about ”Wuthering Heights” and plan to read.
btw If it’s a book with no romance, it has to be really,really good for me to even bother to look at it.

Anything by Jane Austen. I’m not generally a huge fan of romance, but I actually really enjoyed "Emma". You could also look into "Sense and Sensibility" or "Pride and Prejudice"; those aren’t half bad. For a quicker read by Jane Austen, "Northanger Abbey" isn’t bad.
And one final book of interest, not by Miss Austen:
North and South – Elizabeth Cleghorn Gaskell
If it’s romance you’re after try:
-Pride and Prejudice.
-Emma
-Little Women
I’d also suggest ‘Anne of Green Gables.’ It’s set in late 1800′s/early 1900′s, and doesn’t contain as much romance as you’d like, but Anne really is a WONDERFUL lead character – you would love her.
how about gone with the wind (im sure you’ve heard of it). also there is Shadow of the moon, far Pavilions, desiree. You could try Jane Austen. AND do read wuthering heights! its amazing!
