Writing across English-speaking nations

Hello

I've been thinking a lot lately about how American attitudes manifest in American life, and how those attitudes were built to begin with.

I wanted to open up a discussion about the differences in American and English writing. If you were to pick authors who best exemplify the quintessential American, English, Scottish, Irish etc. way of writing prose in the English language, who would you pick?

I guess I just want to see how writing in English is structured from one English-speaking culture to another. I'm hesitant to use such broad terms for all of these cultures but I just want to keep this concise. Obviously American doesn't just mean straight, white authors.

But, I want to know if, across all of the American prose that's been written, there can be a kind of invisible language and structure found.

Sorry if I'm not articulating this well, I'm just interested in how much culture can shape the base writing style of a nation I guess, what we're taught (the good and the bad) what we're told to say and not to say and stuff like that.
