Middle English Prose
Middle English Prose refers to the body of written works in the English language that were composed between the late 12th and late 15th centuries. This form of literature developed after the Norman Conquest of England in 1066, blending elements of Old English with French influences. Middle English Prose includes a wide range of genres such as historical chronicles, religious texts, romances, and philosophical treatises. This period marked a significant transition in the development of the English language, as it evolved from its Germanic roots to become more recognizable to modern readers. Prominent examples of Middle English Prose include Geoffrey Chaucer's "Canterbury Tales" and Sir Thomas Malory's "Le Morte d'Arthur."
