Woolf: Mrs. Dalloway To the Lighthouse and Orlando, which can only be described as transgendered sci fi as written by Woolf.
Lawrence: Ignore Lady C's Lover. It's essentially upper class husband is paralyzed, so his wife has an affair with the gardener. It was an early example of sexually explicit writing, and the class implications (doing the dirty deed with the man who handles dirt for a living) meant a lot more back then, so people made an uproar over it; but as a novel it's actually pretty weak. I think Sons and Lovers is his best book, but Women in Love is nothing to sneeze at.
Miller: Crucible also is less in perspective than it was at the time, because it was reflecting the McCarthy witch hunts here, and he was married to Marilyn Monroe. The one to get is All My Sons, which might be the closest thing in 20th century literature to a true Greek tragedy, and packs an enormous punch when a good actor plays the role of the father.
