The Sublime in 19th c Brit. Lit.

I'm currently brainstorming some ideas for my senior thesis, and I was wondering if anyone could suggest 19th c British novels that heavily include "sublime" elements (terrifying and awesome Nature, landscapes, etc...) At the moment, my list consists of Frankenstein, King Solomon's Mines, Dracula, and a few poems by Percy Bysse Shelley. I'd greatly appreciate any suggestions for more novels!

Well, ..there are plenty of works from British authors that may respond to such a query, including Polidori's The Vampyre, some tales, short stories and novels from Oscar Wilde, works from Robert Louis Stevenson, including the strange case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde...It have to be novels? And what exactly you understand by the term "sublime" in literature?
