I also am a great fan of Charles Dickens because he has written about many social issues prevailing in England at that point of time, also the fact that certain emotions are timeless and you can definitely feel the emotions in his writings.Aanother personal favourite isOliver Henry because of his gripping narrative and usage of irony in his stories. Actually there are too many great writers like P G Wodehouse for his ready wit and sense of humour but I'm forced to name just three. read less

Greatest writer in English, as quoted by almost everyone here, William Shakespeare. Reasons- His stature overshadows his successors justly. He is the greatest writer of all times, his greatness defies geographical and temporal boundaries. “He was not of an age but for all time!”~ Ben Jonson on The Bard. The English language hasn't produced anyone at par with The Bard, but as the question demands two other names I would name James Joyce. The notoriously famous author of Ulysses needs no introduction. His crafting of the English language is unparalleled. Lastly, I would name Thomas Stearn Eliot. Contemporary of Joyce, Eliot is widely acknowleged as the greatest of 20th century writers. Came across his works during grad years. His language is evocative as well as emotive. In him, I find the influence of another great writer, John Donne. I can so much relate to what he talks about, the lack of rhyme, the broken syntax, crude sounding phrases, Everything. For me, the greatest line in Modern English read less
