Twilight was Stephenie Meyer’s biggest hit as an author. Each of the four novels in the Twilight series draws its inspiration from a classic literary work, including Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen, Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë, and A Midsummer Night’s Dream by William Shakespeare. She says that Anne of Green Gables by L.M. Montgomery and Orson Scott Card are among her literary influences. She has written several books, both spin-offs from the series and stand-alone novels, including The Chemist, a spy novel.
