Who are the 10 greatest English novelists?

Who are the 10 greatest English novelists?

The country, not the language. And specifically England, not the rest of the UK.

Currently living, or of all time?

Of all time.

Charles Dickins
Evelyn Waugh
Graham Greene
Jane Austen
George Eliot
Somerset Maugham
Laurence Sterne
Charlotte Brontë
Henry Fielding
Joseph Conrad* (Polish)

Thanks for the contribution. Laurence Sterne also isn't really English, though.

Joyce? :(

Ten fat Americans. Brits have lost the capacity for imagination along with the will to freedom.

he's irish you dummy

Replace Joseph Conrad with D.H Lawrence.

I was on the fence about including him. He's more often described as an "Irish-born English writer" so I threw him in.

you're right, sorry :D

"They're throwing themselves into the road to escape all this hideousness. THROW YOURSELF INTO THE ROAD, DARLING, YOU HAVEN'T GOT A CHANCE!"
Someone here has to make room for Samuel Richardson.

1. Dickens.
2. Maugham
3. Woolf

That's all.

I hope you are not also counting "Cornwall" because Kernow is not in England.

Currently re reading salis marner, it's way better than what I remember.

Malcolm Lowry should be on the list

Cornwall is part of England and has been for hundreds of years. Prove me wrong.

Sorry I was just memeing and don't know enough about Cornish separatist nationalism, which barely exists anyway, to provide a further argument. But I hope you will still invite me to tea.

I was going to accuse you of being American but then I thought that there are definitely some Cornish people who believe that. You're of course cordially invited to the winter Yea Forums tearoom meetup.
