| The Concept of existentialism and existential crisis has been constant themes in writings of authors and writers of classical Western Literatures. Though story-tellers, novelists, writers of prosaic works, poets and playwrights are numerous in English literature, I analyze here incidents and events of existential crisis in the works of a very handful of persons such as Geoffrey Chaucer, the first well-known writer of the English literature, William Shakespeare the poet, and playwright of all seasons, and a few Nobel Prize Winners such as John Galsworthy, T.S. Eliot and William Golding etcetera. These belong to different points of times. I have not included here the persons known only for their poetical works as I think I might do it in my later research. |
