ENGLISH AUTHORS
Jane Austen is still many people's favourite author today and her
works, including "Pride and Prejudice" (1813) and "Emma" (1816) are
known for their independence and wit. Jane Austen was only beaten by
J.R.R. Tolkein in the massive BBC survey to choose Britain's favourite
books.
The novels of Charles Dickens are noted for their colourful and
sometimes eccentric-characters. In "Oliver Twist" (1837-1839) and
"David Copperfield" (1849 – 1850), Dickens described the lives of
children made miserable by cruel or thoughtless adults. He pictured the
grim side of Victorian life in "Bleak House" (1852 – 1853).
The novels of the three Bronte sisters – Emily, Charlotte, and Anne
have many romantic elements and are known especially for their
psychologically tormented heroes and heroines. Critics rank Emily
Bronte's "Wuthering Heights" (1847) and Charlotte Bronte's "Jane Eyre"
(1847) among the greatest works of Victorian fiction. From the late
Victorian era, George Elliot, Thomas Hardy and Rudyard Kipling remain
popular today.
