| | British literature - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | British literature is literature from the United Kingdom, the Isle of Man and the Channel Islands. | | | The importance of translation in spreading the influence of English literature to other cultures of the islands can be exemplified by the abridged Manx version of Paradise Lost by John Milton published in 1796 by Thomas Christian. | | | The multilingual audience for literature in the 14th century can be illustrated by the example of John Gower, who wrote in Latin, Middle English and Anglo-Norman. |
