Module 2: Literature and Language Throughout History

Both British literature and the English language have changed and grown from the time of the Anglo-Saxons. In this module, you explored the various British literary periods that you will study in this course. You learned that each of the periods were influenced by those before them, as well as the events occurring during the associated time period. In addition, you examined how the English language has evolved over time. The earliest English, Old English, would not be recognizable or readable to you; however, the language has shifted and changed to become the Modern English you use today.
