Welcome to Major British Authors with Mr. Johnson.
As writers progress through their life, they are influenced by the people and the culture wherein they live. As a result there is a direct connection between a writer and the era in which they are living. This year, we will explore this connection beginning in the 400's and leading into the modern era. This exploration will span from Beowulf to Brave New World and include various authors that explore one of the most fundimental aspects of humanity and answers one of the basic questions of man . . .
