This paper aims to study and illustrate how recent trends such as the ebook technology, digital media, blogging and other forms of social networking play a significant role in English literature today. These trends are useful in promoting the exchange of ideas and access to vital information that assists the analysis of literary works. Digital Media also proves to be important in improving the access and academic analysis of English literature. Literary works can be reviewed, and individuals may discuss various issues through social media. Studies that would previously take much time and work are simplified by increased access to literary works in the form of ebooks and audio versions of novels and stories. Moreover, research articles and reviews are availed in various blogs that a scholar may access. However some thinkers feel that social media, in particular, is inhibiting the development of art and literature. Various disadvantages are associated with modern technology regarding the decrease in quality of literary works.
