Bibliography. Index. English literature during the middle English period experienced tremendous growth and change. Numerous discrepancies in language and culture added to the difficulties of the day. Here we will explore this phenomenal period in history. The Anglo Saxon period of English ended in the 11th century with the Norman conquest of England. England became tri lingual. Norman French was spoken by the aristocracy Latin was spoken in the church and the people spoke a confusion of Anglo Saxon dialects. The ascendancy of Anglo Norman (the form of old French spoken and written by the Normans who lived in England) over Anglo Saxon interrupted the normal literary development and forced English prose and poetry into the background during the 12th 13th and 14th centuries. French culture and thought were introduced in England and a considerable number of French words enriched the English language. It was not until the middle of the 14th century that English and specifically the East Midland Anglo Saxon dialect of London from which modern English is derived became the dominant language in the country. This was the language in which Chaucer the first great English poet wrote his famous work The Canterbury Tales. Another outstanding work of this influential poet is the poem Troilus and Criseyde considered by some to be his greatest artistic achievement. The period between 1350 and 1400 the year of Chaucer's death was marked by an important revival of alliterative poetry. The finest examples of this type are Pearl Purity (or cleanliness) and Patience all believed to have been written by the same unknown poet. Sir Gawain and the Green Knight which was written during this period of time is considered to be one of the best Arthurian romances in English. The Vision Concerning Piers Plowman attributed to William Langland is generally considered second only to The Canterbury Tales as the greatest poem of the middle English period. The best known English prose writer at the end of the 14th century was John Wycliffe who initiated the first complete English translation of the Bible. 384 pp.…
