English literature

created by demiurge

(thing) by demiurge (?) (print)   ?   I like it! Sat Nov 13 1999 at 9:20:37

Literature written in any form of English (Old English, Middle English, Arcane English, or Modern English). The canonical oldest example of English Literature (as in a work of fiction and not just a written use of the language) is "Beowulf". Shakespere is commonly recognized as the preeminent master of English Literature.
