The medieval literature was composed of religious writings as well as secular works. We can say that it started with Beowulf but that is just for having an idea, another important book is The Canterbury Tales by Geoffrey Chaucer.
In the medieval ages, literature was meant to be only for rich people or clerics; women, workers or kids cannot read because it was only for "people who really deserve it"
If read a book was like a privilege, imagine how important was the one who write books. In those books we can find beautiful handmade paintings.
The stories were about knights, kings and, in some cases, old legends.
I think this period is very important, but not my favourite, for our literature, because they made important the fact of sharing ideas, thoughs and life events.
