List of English writers

List of English writers lists writers in English, born or raised in England (or who lived in England for a lengthy period), who already have Wikipedia pages. References for the information here appear on the linked Wikipedia pages. The list is incomplete – please help to expand it by adding Wikipedia page-owning writers who have written extensively in any genre or field, including science and scholarship. Please follow the entry format. A seminal work added to a writer's entry should also have a Wikipedia page. This is a subsidiary to the List of English people. There are or should be similar lists of Irish, Scots, Welsh, Manx, Jersey, and Guernsey writers.

Abbreviations: AV = Authorized King James Version of the Bible, awa = also wrote/writes as, b. = born, c. = circa; century, cc. = centuries; cleric = Anglican priest, d. = died, fl. = floruit, or. = originally, RC = Roman Catholic, SF = science fiction, YA = young-adult fiction
