English literature is the body of written works—novels, poetry, drama, and essays—produced in the English language, spanning authors from Shakespeare and Austen to contemporary writers. It's studied academically to analyze themes, historical context, and literary technique, and appeals to readers interested in storytelling and cultural history.
