English literature in early period seems always the sign of a genuine literary revival and yet song lives on whether the professing masters of literature write lyrics or not. Ballads and popular songs gave voice to the fevor of individual feeling before the renaissance and after it when the age had given place to satire and didacticism. Yet thee is no doubt that lyric poets were more numerous during the sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries than they had been before or have ever been since. Genuine lyrical poetry already existent came into literary fashion with the renaissance. John Skelton although eccentric and usually inharmonious was not without lyrical ability. King Henry VIII wrote a few very good lyrics such as Green growth the holly and his contemporaries William Cornish and John Hey Wood had already learned the art of song writing. Yet the book has been significant and deeply satisfying to many readers. Human beings have always had to struggle with the hard facts of the surroundings in which they live moreover they have usually had to continue the struggle from generations to generation so that no one in a single lifetime could claim the satisfaction of victory but only of continuance and survival. In the middle ages and in earlier mythologizing times men transfigured the repetitive tedium of the struggle by dramatizing the sequence of reviving and subsiding life in the revolutions of the seasons. A change came about when colonizing began such as that of the Puritan settlers during the 17th century on the Eastern American seaboard for the colonists were able to see the transformation of wilderness into cultivated land in the space of a lifetime labour then took on the shape of heroic enterprise. Defoe by showing how Crusoe constructed for himself a habitable and even prosperous settlement by his unaided effort and ingenuity achieved a kind of prose epic of the humdrum and his book became permanent inspiration to sober patient and practical men such as his fellow dissenters of the 18th century. 332 pp.

Within the framework of history all English literature is either medieval or modern. To designate any part of it as medieval is to describe it explicitly or implicitly as belonging to the era that formed the great bridge over which the western world advanced from the confusion following the collapse of Rome to the complex modern world. This era of the middle ages which endured for approximately the millennium between the years 500 and 1500 represents man's efforts to develop a new system of life after the old system had gone down in the ruins of the classical world of Greece and Rome. 382 pp.

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.
