You might try his essay on Addison. (I disagree sharply with some things in it, but it expresses one possible perspective very well.) Incidentally, though I've never read an account of it, I understand from secondhand sources that he was very into spanking (whether as spanker or spankee or both I don't remember). Also his _Allegory of Love_, which I have never read either as a whole, but if I remember correctly his history of "romantic love" is essentially the same as the history Engels gives. His book on Milton is enraging but still enjoyable.
