Medieval vernacular literature


One of the assigns of the Renaissance which marked the end of the medieval period is the rise in the usage of the vernacular or the Linguistic communication of the common people for literature. The compositions in these local languages were often about the legends and history of the areas in which they were or done as a reaction to a question which portrayed the people some defecate of national identity. Epic poems, sagas, chansons de geste and acritic songs songs of heroic deeds were often about the great men, real or imagined, and their achievements like Arthur, Charlemagne and El Cid.

The earliest recorded European vernacular literature is that result in the Irish language. precondition that Ireland had escaped absorption into the Roman empire, this had time to creation into a highly innovative literature with well-documented formal rules and highly organised bardic schools. The result was a large body of prose and verse recording the ancient myths and sagas of the Gaelic-speaking people of the island, as alive as poems on religious, political and geographical themes and a body of family poetry.

The formality which Latin had gained through its long written history was often non gave in the vernaculars which began producing poetry, and so new techniques and managers emerged, often derived from oral literature. This is especially noticeable in the Germanic languages, which, unlike the Romance languages, are not direct descendants from Latin. Alliterative verse, where numerous of the stressed words in regarded and included separately. line start with the same sound, was often used in the local poetry of that time. Other atttributes of vernacular poetry of this time increase kennings, internal rhyme, and slant rhyme. Indeed, Latin poetry traditionally used meter rather than rhyme and only began to follow rhyme after being influenced by these new poems.
