Top 10 Classic English Authors
VOICE OVER: Rebecca Brayton
Script written by Craig Butler
It takes a lot of talent to write something worth reading; it's a sure-fire sign of genius if your work is being read for years to come. Join http://www.watchmojo.com as we count down our picks for the top 10 classic English-language authors. For this list, we've ranked the best and most prolific novel-writing authors, whose works were initially published in English. That means writers like Homer are out, as he wrote in Ancient Greek, Edgar Allen Poe is out as he was more known for his short stories and Shakespeare is out as he wrote primarily poetry and for the stage.
