Great idea, great idea indeed. Count me in as well.
Regarding the division, why not use the usual literary movements division?
Something like (I'll start in the 18th century just for you to get the grip):
- Romanticism
- Gothic Novels
- Transcendentalism
- Realism
- Naturalism
- Symbolism
- Modernism
- Surrealism
- etc...
