...some authors? I already have Dickens, Jane Austen, George Eliot, James Joyce. What are some more classic authors from England? Thank you.
 
To name a few...

Joseph Conrad
Flann O'Brien (Brian O'Nolan)
Mary Shelley
Elizabeth Barret Browning
Wilkie Collins
Lewis Carrol
Virginia Woolf
Henry Fielding
Daniel Defoe
Samuel Richardson

Hemmingway and Poe are American! And so are Nathaniel Hawthorne, Mark Twain, F. Scott Fitzgerald, William Faulkner and Harper Lee. The question is about English Classical Lit right? Not literature written in English?
 
Robert Louis Stevenson
Lewis Carroll
Wilkie Collins
Bram Stoker
Mary Shelley
Shakespeare
Emily Bronte
Charlotte Bronte
Anne Bronte
Jerome K Jerome
Oscar WIlde
Kenneth Grahame
Aldous Huxley
J.R.R. Tolkien
C.S Lewis


Edit: SORRY!! About Hemmingway and Poe. I just chucked a bunch of authors I'd read in there. I'll remove them now

Edit2: Got rid of them all. Sorry about that :S
Mistook the question.
 
Dickens
Austen
Eliot
Joyce (technically Irish)
Emily Bronte
Charlotte Bronte
Anne Bronte
Elizabeth Gaskell
Thomas Hardy
George Egerton
Arthur Morrison
JRR Tolkien
