Факты о британской литературе 

# data[].attributes.body
О русской литературе мы твердо знаем, что «Пушкин – наше все». Что интересного известно о британской литературе?

1. У британской литературы есть свой день

День британской литературы отмечается 26 апреля. Это день крещения Вильяма Шекспира: об этом есть запись в церковных книгах. А вот дата рождения Шекспира неизвестна. И это не единственная связанная с ним загадка….

2. Шекспир-то был. Но был ли Шекспир?

Человек по имени Вильям Шекспир существовал. Но был ли он автором тех самых пьес и сонетов? Не все верят, что человек без образования мог взять да и написать столько шедевров, да еще таким языком. Подлинным автором называют то одного, то другого выдающегося современника Шекспира. Но это все только версии...

3. Азарт для вдохновения

Легенда гласит, что более чем одним шедевром мы обязаны... азарту. Мэри Шелли придумала сюжет «Франкенштейна» – классики готического романа! – во время импровизированного конкурса на лучшую страшилку. Великолепная Агата Кристи написала свой первый роман на спор. Хороший стимул!

Books have been around for centuries but for much of that time they were not available to the common person. Only the upper classes or monks and scholars were able to read. Books were very expensive and had to be copied by hand. It was not until the invention of the printing press that books became cheaper and more widely available. We have only to take advantage of it. The importance of books and reading cannot be underestimated.

First and foremost, books are free voyages to anywhere in the world. You can open a book and with the flick of your eyes and the will of your imagination, be wherever the book takes you. Best of all, you can read for free, either in your home with your own hard-copies or on this site with the help of e-books.

Learning is a significant process in human being life. It is self-evident that human development can't stand without good learning. People always search for the appropriate ways to learn. Some learn from books and some by experiences.

The book is a valuable source of knowledge that has infinite benefits. It transports us to different historic worlds and cultures. More to say, it informs us about ancient civilizations and lore. In addition, it helps us to learn about new technologies and literary work. It allows us to speak languages fluently and to communicate spontaneously. Therefore, the book can be a faithful friend and the nearest to us which can guide us to behave and respond to the needs of our practical lives.

In conclusion, learning is a strong challenge that requires patience and effort. Books and experiences are the best ways of learning because of their vast availability and unlimited themes.

William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare - The Complete Literary Works of William Shakespeare, 42 plays, poems and The Sonnets from the bard himself. You will also find 11 Plays attributed in part to William Shakespeare and 19 of Shakespeare's plays/books translated to German.

Jane Austen

Jane Austen English novelist born 16th December 1775, died 18th July 1817.

Known primarily for her six major novels, which interpret, critique and comment upon the British landed gentry at the end of the 18th century. Jane Austen's plots often explore the dependence of women on marriage in the pursuit of favourable social standing and economic security.

Her works critique the novels of sensibility of the second half of the 18th century and are part of the transition to 19th-century literary realism.

With the publications of Sense and Sensibility (1811), Pride and Prejudice (1813), Mansfield Park (1814), and Emma (1815) all worthy additions to the Classic Literature Library. She wrote two additional novels, Northanger Abbey and Persuasion, both published posthumously in 1818, and began another, eventually titled Sanditon, but died before its completion.

Her novels have rarely been out of print, although they were published anonymously and brought her little fame during her lifetime. A significant transition in her posthumous reputation occurred in 1869, fifty-two years after her death, when her nephew's publication of A Memoir of Jane Austen introduced her to a wider audience.

Edgar Allan Poe

Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849), American writer, editor, and literary critic.

Poe was born into poverty at Boston, January 19, 1809, dying under painful circumstances at Baltimore, October 7, 1849, his whole literary career of scarcely fifteen years a pitiful struggle for mere subsistence, his memory malignantly misrepresented by his earliest biographer, Griswold, how completely has truth at last routed falsehood and how magnificently has Poe come into his own.

Best known for his poem The Raven (1845) and tales such as The Black Cat (1843), The Balloon-Hoax (1844), The Pit And The Pendulum (1842), and The Unparalleled Adventure of Hans Pfaall (1835).

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859-1930), British physician, novelist, and detective-story writer, creator of the unforgettable master sleuth Sherlock Holmes.

Some of the best known of the Holmes stories are The Sign of The Four (1890), The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes (1892), The Hound of the Baskervilles (1902), and His Last Bow (1917). They made Conan Doyle internationally famous and served to popularize the detective-story genre (Detective Story; Mystery Story)

Sir James Matthew Barrie

Sir James Matthew Barrie, 1st Baronet, Born May 9th, 1860, Kirriemuir, Angus, Scotland, Died June 19th, 1937, London, England.

Dramatist and novelist who is best known as the creator of Peter Pan the boy who refused to grow up. The Peter Pan series includes Peter Pan Play (staged 1904), Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens (1906), and Peter and Wendy (novel) (1911).

Bram Stoker

Abraham "Bram" Stoker, Born 8th November 1847, Dublin, Ireland, Died 20th April 1912, London, England.

Bram Stoker was an Irish author, best known today for his Gothic adventure novel Dracula (1897), spawning the infamous Count Dracula vampire legend from Transylvania.

During his lifetime, Stoker was better known as the personal assistant to the actor Henry Irving and the business manager of the Lyceum Theatre in London (owned by Henry Irving).

In 1890 Stoker visited the English coastal town of Whitby, and that visit is said to be part of the inspiration for Dracula. He began writing novels while manager for Henry Irving and secretary and director of London's Lyceum Theatre, beginning with The Snake's Pass in 1890 and Dracula in 1897.

During this period, Stoker was part of the literary staff of the The Daily Telegraph in London, and he wrote other fiction, including the horror novels The Lady of the Shroud (1909) and The Lair of the White Worm (1911).
