The UGC NET English course covers a wide range of influential authors, poets, novelists, and playwrights from many historical periods. The world of literature has benefited greatly from the work of these authors.
Homer, the well-known Greek epic poet and author of the Iliad and the Odyssey, is a well-known figure in antiquity. Moving on to the Middle Ages, The Canterbury Tales by Geoffrey Chaucer provides a vivid picture of mediaeval England.
Shakespeare’s renowned works, including Hamlet, Macbeth, and Romeo and Juliet, are showcased during the Renaissance. The epic poem Paradise Lost by John Milton explores complex religious and political issues.
William Wordsworth and Samuel Taylor Coleridge distinguish out for their lyrical poetry and mystic imagination throughout the Romantic era. Charles Dickens, Jane Austen, and Thomas Hardy were well-known authors.
With their unconventional storytelling and writing techniques, writers from the modern and postmodern periods like Virginia Woolf, James Joyce, T.S. Eliot, and William Faulkner questioned conventions.
Influential writers who explore current societal concerns and offer a variety of viewpoints include Salman Rushdie, Toni Morrison, and J.M. Coetzee.
Together, these outstanding novelists, poets, playwrights, and authors who are included in the UGC NET English syllabus illustrate the rich fabric of literary heritage and the always changing landscape of human expression.
