No, it's not English only. Rilke and Goethe have shown up at my FB (as has Disch) - but not Poe or Djuna Barnes, both of whom I should certainly have thought of: thank you. I hadn't realized Beckett or Achebe were poets, or that David Jones was a novelist. Kees and Toomer I'm afraid I've not come across except as names.
I don't think either Burton or Coleridge wrote novels, though Burton was certainly an important prose writer. (Having slogged my way through Biographia Literaria as an undergraduate I'm not convinced the same can be said for STC.)
