Renaissance literature

Renaissance literature refers to the body of work produced during the Renaissance, a cultural movement in Europe from the 14th to the 17th century, marking a revival of interest in classical arts and humanism. Writers like William Shakespeare, Dante Alighieri, and Geoffrey Chaucer explored human experience, individuality, and emotion, often blending traditional and innovative styles. Themes of love, nature, and morality were prominent, and literature became more accessible through the use of vernacular languages. This period laid the foundation for modern literature, influencing storytelling, poetry, and drama, while reflecting the changing worldview of society.
