Any from 1930's?

No 1850's yet - I became distracted with finding The Eight
ETA - I've made a 1950 but have not done 1830 or 1860
Susanna wrote: "I think there already is an 1860s, now that you mention it."1820?
I have The Eight on headphones; a cursed chess set, ooo'd a' thunk it!
"The Betrothed" by Manzoni was written in the 1820s (it is in the list for that decade). Although it was apparently updated in 1842, I don't think it fits the criteria for this list.Also, "Lost Illusions" is in the 1830s list as well as here. According to Wikipedia, it was published as a serial from 1837 to 1843. Does this make it eligible for both lists?
I removed "The Betrothed" which according to wikipedia was first published in 1827. I also edited the GR data to reflect that.
Usually the criterion for publication date on GR is not when the serial began publication, but when the first complete edition was published. So 1837 would not be an accurate pub. year for Lost Illusions, because the whole novel didn't exist at that date. I'm leaving it untouched on this list since I suspect 1840s is the correct decade for the novel's publication (as an entire novel).
Vicki wrote: "The Raven was published in 1927, according to full GR entry."That's actually incorrect, according to Wikipedia it was published in several periodicals as well as in a book, first, in 1845. I changed the GR record.
