Abstract: The paper will explore the impact of artificial intelligence on En­glish literature studies. Namely, it is proven that the employment of artificial intelligence when it comes to (English) literature might help potential read­ers discover the hidden patterns and themes that have been eluding them before. What is more, the usage of artificial intelligence and its application in (English) literature studies might represent a useful tool in determining and ascertaining authorship and consequently in protecting the intellectual property of the individual authors. The paper will also try to determine the pros and cons of its application in English literature studies.
