FAMOUS WRITERS OF GREAT BRITANIA

Excerpt of Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë with illustrations – WikiCommons
Charlotte Brontë is the most famous of this group of literary sisters, but I think that they all deserve a place on this list of top 10 popular British writers! The sisters lived and worked in the 19th century and were basically brought up to become authors. Their father encouraged the girls to write and master their craft. Like Austen, because they were women, they used pseudonyms to publish their work. Anne, Emily, and Charlotte Brontë wrote on isolation, women’s place in society in the 19th century, and the British countryside. Charlotte is most famous for the classic Jane Eyre, Emily for Wuthering Heights, and Anne for The Tenant of Wildfell Hall.

Daniel Defoe

Daniel Defoe lived and worked in the 17th and 18th centuries in England. He is most famous for his novel Robinson Crusoe, the tale of a man stranded on a desert island. The tale has been rewritten and transformed into television shows and movies, and is a true classic. Defoe is also considered to be one of the first writers to pen a novel and thus made this style of book popular among the British. In addition to Robinson Crusoe, Defoe wrote over 500 pieces over his lifetime.
Get ready to explore classic literature by taking a closer look at these 16 best British authors of all time.
From William Shakespeare to modern-day authors like J. K. Rowling, England has brought many exceptional writers to the forefront of modern literature. If you are looking for your next book to enjoy, studying some of these classic and modern British authors is a good starting point. On this list, you’ll find everything from classic detective tales to historic works that have stood the test of time.
As you consider reading works from the United Kingdom, there are several world-famous authors that should be on your list. Here are 16 of them.
1. Charles Dickens
Considered the greatest writer of the Victorian era, Charles Dickens created some of the most memorable characters in English literature. Three of his most famous novels, Oliver Twist, Great Expectations, and A Christmas Carol, are still widely read in modern times and have been the subject of numerous movies and plays. When Dickens was just 12 years old, his father went to debtor’s prison, and young Charles was forced into factory work. That may have been part of the inspiration for the downtrodden but plucky characters in his books.
