Oh, wow, there are so many notable authors. Like musicians, it would be tough to compile a list of the "most famous" of all time. Here are a few names, though:
William Shakespeare
James Joyce
Charles Dickens
Mark Twain (aka Samuel Clemens)
Edgar Allan Poe
Nathaniel Hawthorne
TS Eliot
Henry David Thoreau
Jules Verne
Ernest Hemingway
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Homer (wrote The Odyssey and The Ilyad)
Jonathan Swift
Herman Melville
Daniel Defoe
JD Salinger
Jane Austen
Mary Shelley
Jack Kerouac
Louisa May Alcott
Stephen King

This is a subjective question. Everyone will have a different list. Why don't you do a little research on this and Google. You will at least find some major writers.
