Renaissance and 17th Century literature is well represented by many famous authors' John Bunyan is well know for the Pilgrims Progress. John Donne for his poetry and sonnets. Elizabeth 1 was a well known writer. Ben Jonson for poetry and drama. Christopher Marlowe, for plays and much more. John Milton the great poet and more. Sir Thomas More, Sir Thomas Nash, Sir Walter Raleigh, maybe the best - William Shakespear - Edmund Spenser who is well known for his Fairie Queene. All in all, a tough question to answer
