SPECIAL FEATURES OF ENGLISH LITERATURE

Abstract

English literature, as one of the most ancient and influential literary traditions of world literature, has gone through a rich historical development. This literature, which has been formed from the ancient Anglo-Saxon period to the modern period, has incorporated literary trends, ideological and aesthetic searches and artistic innovations that emerged at various historical stages. Its main uniqueness is manifested in its continuous development, richness of genre and style, as well as its universal approach to human and social problems.

One of the characteristic features of English literature is the high level of development of the genres of the novel and dramaturgy. William Shakespeare's dramaturgy is distinguished by the depth of human characters and the universality of artistic conflicts, while the English realistic novel has become an example of world literature with its objective description of social life and the power of psychological analysis. Through these genres, individual destinies are presented at the level of universal ideas.

This literature pays special attention to the human personality and its inner world. The problems of freedom, conscience, love, responsibility and moral choice have been developed by writers of different eras with deep philosophical content. English literature prefers to present a person not only as a social being, but also as a moral-psychological whole personality.

In terms of language and style, English literature is characterized by the unity of simplicity and depth of meaning. Irony, humor and satire act as the main stylistic features of this literature and play an important role in the criticism of the moral-social problems of society. These features increase the impact of the works by creating a lively connection between the reader and the author
