LITERATURE made EaSy

  1) Medieval and Early Modern  literature  (450-1500) The literature after the collapse of the Western Roman Empire in 5 th century and the Renaissance 15 th century is the medieval literature. Based on the development of English language this period can be divided into two periods The Old English Period and The Middle English period. Written Old English dates from the 7 th century, it is almost an alien language for the modern reader. The known literary work from the old English is a heroic poem Beowulf about 3000 lines long. And it is so old that its author is unknown. Few lines from the poem are Hwæt! We Gardena in geardagum,   þeodcyninga, þrym gefrunon,   hu ða æþelingas ellen fremedon .   ( Rainsford 76). So, this language is almost unreadable. In old English poetry Christian and pagan ideas are at war. In old English poetry there is greater emphasis on rituals, royal authority, and storytelling.
