15th Century English Literature

15th-century English literature marks a transitional period from Middle English to Early Modern English, reflecting the social, political, and cultural changes of the time. It includes significant works like Chaucer's influence, though he lived slightly earlier, and later writers such as anonymous poets and dramatists. Themes often explore chivalry, morality, and religion, with poetry, allegories, and chronicles prevalent. This era set the stage for the Renaissance's literary flowering, blending medieval traditions with emerging humanist ideas, and contributed foundational texts that shaped the future of English literature.
