If Shakespeare, Dickens, Austin... They're all still alive,
That Twitter fever is afraid that there is nothing trump to do,
After all, these people together are the strongest dan players in Britain!
Take Brexit, for example,
Take a look at the british section of the literary hero Twitter:
The audience spoke
Shakespeare: Take it off or not, that's a problem.
Dickens: Life is assembled by many parting ways.
George Bernard Shaw: If you want to stay, you can get married, and if you want to leave the EU, you can stay single, and you will regret it in the end anyway.
Woolf: The British who came out to have fun, and when they met the European Union, which was too affectionate, it was like fishing for a beluga whale.
Supporters have
Wilde: We all live in the gutters of the European Union, but there are still people who look up at the stars.
Opponents have
Shelley: Although the established fate is bleak, change can only deepen his disaster.
I am afraid that China's railways have been repaired to the United Kingdom, and the United Kingdom is still a part of the European Union!
Listen to their extraordinary achievements in the history of literature,
Feel like your brain doesn't deserve to live on the same planet anymore!
Don't mind, writers are also people—
Today I will tell their story
You don't know them
1. A mathematician with a troubled financial situation
Lewis Carroll, author of Alice in Wonderland, a mathematician who earned an honorary master's degree in mathematics at Oxford University with honors and stayed on to teach, had terrible financial debts. Although he pays off his debts on time, he is still often saddled with an overdraft of more than £7,500. Considering that Carroll is a lecturer in mathematics at Oxford University, this is even more ironic

2. First a great linguist, then a brilliant writer
J.R.R. Tolkien, author of Lord of the Rings, was both a linguist and author of the Oxford English Dictionary before writing his best-selling novels The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings, and The Sprite. He studied and explained the words in the dictionary that begin with "W", and he didn't expect it!

But his favorite word is "Cellar door," which he says is the most musically rhythmic word he remembers, especially when the pronunciation of the down-key part is subtle. Later, in The Lord of the Rings, 15 different dialects were created for the elves. It seems that there will be no individual skills, and it is impossible to write good works!

3. These and these words were actually created by them?
When it comes to language, in addition to Tolkien, there are these great writers who have opened up the world for future generations. One of the most well-known is Shakespeare

His legacy of wealth lies not only in his numerous plays, but also in his contributions to the English language. For example, "Wild Goose Chase Futility" refers to the stupid pursuit of the impossible from "Romeo and Juliet"; "break the ice breaks the deadlock", and many social terrorist friends hear the shaking ice-breaking link, which is also brought out by Shakespeare in "Taming of the Taming of the Shrew".

In addition, Shakespeare invented the popular girl name of the moment , Jessica, Olivia, and Miranda. The next time I introduce myself, I will use it quickly - my name is given by Shakespeare, and I will kill the whole family!
Also, almost all of Uranus's 27 moons are named after Shakespeare's characters! As the son of the discoverer of Uranus, John Herschel received the honor of naming these moons. Instead of adopting the names of Greek mythology as other planets have done, John looked for unique roles in English literature in a different way:

The names Titan, Oberon, and Puck all come from the fairies in Shakespeare's comedy A Midsummer Night's Dream. The other satellite names are as follows:

Another lyricist is Charles Dickens, the author of A Tale of Two Cities and Oliver Twist! Pick up a few at random—dustbin dumpsters, butter-fingers of clumsy people, crossfire crossfire, whoosh the whizzing sound of fast-moving movements. It seems that when you discover the charm of language and can create your own words, you are one step closer to becoming a good writer!
4. The great detective writer is a true believer in spiritualism
Conan Doyle, the detective novel writer and doctor who wrote Sherlock Sherlock Holmes series with strict scientific logic, is an out-and-out spiritualist. "Scientific logic", "doctor", and "spiritualism" can appear on a person's body at the same time, and the length of the neck is really incomprehensible!
5. Have you tried different adventures to write a good adventure travelogue?
Daniel Defoe, author of Robinson Crusoe, had tried many unsuccessful business ventures before becoming a famous novelist. One of the weirdest things he ever tried to sell was a perfume made from the secretions of cats?! Finally know how the previous failure was born...
6. There is no natural vegetarian in the world, and the more books you read, the more you become a vegetarian
The Romantic poet Percy Bysshe Shelley was one of the prominent advocates of the morally motivated vegetarian diet in the early 19th century. He was persuaded to begin this way of eating after reading the works of Dr. William Lambey and John Frank Newton, and later Shelley published a paper on the subject in 1813, "The Defense of The Natural Diet.".

7. Life without pets is meaningless
Which writer is famous for keeping bears as pets?
Lord George Gordon Byron was the romantic poet.

His pet is far more than a bear! From Byron's estates in England to his home in Venice, it is said that there were ten horses, three monkeys, three peacocks, eight dogs, five cats, a crane, a falcon, an eagle and a crow. Opening a zoo at home, is this the waywardness of rich people?
8. Murder mystery novel born while bathing
Asked how she came up with the plot of her most famous murder mystery novel, Agatha Christie said she liked to come up with her stories while eating apples and relaxing in a warm bath. Next time I can't write a question, you may wish to eat an apple & take a bath!
9. Anonymous female writer
Published as a man, the "Bell Brothers", whose true identity was not revealed until his death, is the three Brontë sisters – the eldest sister Charlotte Brontë, the second sister Emily Brontë, and the third sister Anne Brontë. Charlotte's Jane Eyre, Emily's Wuthering Heights, and Anne's Agnes Gray all have an extraordinary place in the history of British literature.

In the nineteenth century, when they lived, Britain, which had become an industrial power, still had a low status of women, and "tall" things like literature were not within their reach. It was the norm for contemporaries of women writers to write anonymously, including Jane Austen and Mary Shelley.
