What is Overview of Middle English Literature about?
The Middle English period, spanning approximately 400 years from 1100 to 1500, was significantly influenced by the Norman Conquest, which introduced a French-speaking aristocracy and enriched the English language with French vocabulary. Literature evolved through three distinct phases: early religious writings for the lower classes, a diverse literature for entertainment and edification as the upper classes adopted English, and a high point marked by notable authors like Chaucer in the Ricardian period.
