English writers

Anglophone literary figures

Writers from England, or writers who work in the English language.

The phrase is ambiguous: English writers dominated the Victorian literary scene likely means writers from England, while English writers around the world probably means anyone writing in English regardless of nationality.

Context usually clarifies which sense is intended.
