British/UK Fiction Feature Writer: Elizabeth Gregory

From Shakespeare to the Restoration, Victorian and modern eras this topic reintroduces some obscure or forgotten authors, who deserve to be neither, while recognising some writers who are household names thanks to Booker and Orange Prizes, literary colonialism or well-earned reputation.

From John Milton and Oscar Wilde to Virginia Woolf and Jane Austen, Nick Hornby and Zadie Smith to Thomas Hardy and James Joyce, George Bernard Shaw and Aldous Huxley to George Eliot and Charlotte Bronte, Ian McEwan and Jeanette Winterson to Salmon Rushdie and Iris Murdoch and dozens of others debuting as we speak, we'll let you know what's hot, what's overrated, and what to buy that reluctant reader.
