I have seen English literature move forward when international authors add points of view, to authors books.

 

I also see English literature grow as international authors bring their perspectives. English literature changes.

 

The writing style changed a lot in the 1900s because authors started to show what characters think.

The writing style in the 1900s focused more on the mind. In the 1800s novels became more popular. The popularity of novels pushed authors to write about love, about class and, about life.

 

I notice that the novels, in the 1800s gave the authors a chance to talk about love. The novels, in the 1800s also gave the authors a chance to talk about experiences. When I read those novels I feel the same. I see that clearly.

​​​

I notice that writers, in the 1600s and 1700s focused on themes and issues in the stories of the writers. The Elizabethan era brought theatre performances. The theatre performances turned into the peoples entertainment.

 

William Shakespeare wrote stage plays. The stage plays still draw the audience today. The Middle English dialect appeared after 1066. Written documents grew more common in society. The writer Geoffrey Chaucer showed groups in the work The Canterbury Tales.

​

​If we go back, to the beginning English literature started in the Anglo‑Saxon period. English did not sound like English sounds now. English sounded different then. I notice people share stories, about heroes, monsters and survival in the tale of Beowulf.
