Original language groups authors by the language they actually wrote in. Wikipedia identifies Jane Austen as "an English writer," and her six novels were all composed in English rather than translated into it. This dimension lets a visitor find every author who wrote in the same original language.

Did a historical Aesop exist?
Every ancient account of Aesop (Samian enslavement, Delphic death, connections to Croesus and the Seven Sages) is a later, often contradictory legendary tradition compiled centuries after his supposed lifetime; no contemporary record of a person named Aesop survives, and modern classicists hold it is far from certain a historical Aesop ever existed at all.
What would resolve this A contemporary (7th-6th century BCE) inscription, papyrus, or independent literary reference naming Aesop as a real individual, rather than a later biographical or legendary compilation.
