Generally speaking, this literature is of two sorts. Some of it was undoubtedly brought to England by the Germanic and Norman conquerors from their continental homes and preserved for a time in oral tradition. The prevalent ethno-cultural dominants of this epoch considerably influenced upon the whole English literature. In this work we can trace their gradual formation from the early times of the development of the old Germanic writing system. In the course of time three streams mingle in Middle English epoch: the religious, chivalrous and courtly literature forming a unique mixture and a tangle of genres characteristic of medieval writing.

By the mid
15th century, as this period of British history was coming to a close,
Gutenberg finished development of his printing press, thereby giving
lower and middle class people their first opportunity to be able to
afford to purchase books and other literary works; and expanded literacy
in Britain, leading to the emergence of the Renaissance.
