2.1 Literature
If you’re looking for the high
achievers of British culture, the
library shelves are a good place to
start. Few nations boast such a rich
literary tradition; an inheritance that
runs from Chaucer through Dickens
and on to McEwan, and which grows,
taken as read, every year.

Best of British
Of all the arts, none has contributed more to Britain’s
cultural identity than literature. The last 200 years have
been particularly bounteous. The novel, still relatively
young as a literary device, relentlessly breeds great
British writers. Scott, Austen, Dickens, Woolf, Orwell,
McEwan: the list is long and rich. Of course, the roots
of British literature lie much further back, in a poetic
tradition that reaches from Chaucer through Milton and
Burns and on to Motion, with language and style
shaped by different eras. These days, verse has a
limited audience, even while a number of excellent
poets continue to publish. Consistently, throughout its
journey, British literature has drawn on wide, exotic
influences, from the Scandinavian lore of Anglo-Saxon
poem Beowulf to the Caribbean thread of V.S. Naipaul’s
20th century novels.
