Karen Joy Fowler, “What I Didn’t See” (Tiptree, “The Women Men Don’t See”) Also The Jane Austen Book Club, but that’s not SF (although some of the characters are fans).

Theodore Rozak, The Memoirs of Elizabeth Frankenstein

Delany's Nova plays off of Moby Dick.  And Gene Roddenberry cited the Horatio Hornblower novels as an inspiration for the original Star Trek.
