i have to write a research paper on any english author of my choosing. we have to read something that the author wrote and study their life. right now im deciding between c.s. lewis, charles dickens, and jane austen. Jane austen being my last choice because there's already a few people doing her in the class. if you leave an answer please tell me why you think i should do that one and what books you might recommend. or if there's another author that i should do than feel free to leave that. thanks
to the person that asked. not english as in american..english as in from england.
 
English as in . . . American?


JRR Tolkien
JK Rowling
Fitzgerald
Jane Austen
 
I think Dickens had by far the most interesting life, much of which is detailed in his fiction. From life in a debtor's prison as a child, to a child laborer, to becoming the most successful and famous writer in the world. He had interesting love affairs, and was even involved in a big famous train wreck where he helped rescue other on the train.
 
CS Lewis, most definitely. You could include how JRR Tolkien and CS Lewis were friends and that Tolkien based the voice of Treebeard the Ent off of CS Lewis.
 
C.S. Lewis is sooo interesting! But I would also suggest Sylvia Plath because she is just so fascinating. She wrote poems, predominantly, which are easy to read. But one poem she wrote was like a suicide note, "Daddy". Its awesome. If you are confined to report on novelists only, definately do c.s. lewis! He was once an athiest, and then converted to christianity. Every book he wrote had to do with christian morals and ethics. He really is an intelligent, stunning man .
