PDFIn Praise of British Literature
10 February 2012
British English is the mother tongue and standard for the English-speaking world. So it’s no surprise that British literature is likewise an exemplar for the literary world. It’s hard to imagine that anyone will ever surpass the work of Chaucer, Shakespeare, Donne, Milton, Blake, Austen, Keats, Dickens, Doyle, or Woolf. Kudos to Great Britain on the 200th anniversary of novelist Charles Dickens, whose vivid Victorian characters have inspired worldwide entertainment, study, and social reform.
