			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It is really significant knowing the <a title="History of Literature" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_literature" target="_blank"><strong>history of literature</strong></a>. There are many aspects of literature that gets to be known when one is studying through the different stages of the history of English literature. Since literature is a record of understanding, it is essential that we understand how it got represented through various stages of civilization with the political, philosophical and over general background. Background to the literature and the state of the time period being written will totally change our perspectives and the way we relate to literature. There are many things that understanding the history of literature and civilization brings to us and some of them are reflected through our understanding and love for literature. Literature is truly an ingrained sense of expression and voice of the times it came out in, just like any other form of music like dance and art. But with literature it is more so.</p>
<p><span id="more-8"></span></p>
<p>With the <strong>written and oral records</strong> of the history of literature, <a title="Geoffrey Chaucer" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geoffrey_Chaucer" target="_blank"><strong>Chaucer </strong></a>comes to be the father of the language with the influence of making the national tongue known across Europe even. Chaucer wrote in verse but the translation from <a title="Middle English" href="http://www.answers.com/topic/middle-english" target="_blank"><strong>Middle English</strong></a> is quite fun to read in verse or prose form. The issues and social concerns that he raised can be related to even today. Chaucer’s style happens to be really elaborate, covering up a lot of different usages of langue and forms. All these make his art totally decisive in the shaping and forming of the future of English literature. Chaucer’s influence has been felt through ages down the flow of ages. He has begun the storehouse for new and florid story telling style that only got improvised with later writers. His influence has been known to have come to writers like <strong>Edmund Burke</strong>, <strong>Edward Gibbon</strong>, <strong>Locke</strong> and <strong>Hume</strong>. They have all been prolific prose writers or even philosophers who took their inspiration from a lot of Chaucer’s works.</p>
<p>Literature is also the pineal point of the turning of civilization and makes the best deal out of the situation of the time period. It gives us the perfect clear insight into the condition of things and the affairs of the current state environment. There is always a wealth of information coming about the true history of any age from the literature. Literary and historical studies thus can never be separated and segregated for long. The Golden Age of Roman Empire for instance shows us reflection into it through the diverse forms of Augustan literature. Similarly when we look at the massive glory of the period of the Elizabethan age we are not left alone with the influence and greatness of literature that spread through that age of greatest changes. It is also interesting to note that the more dramatic and deeprooted changes the period goes through the more intense are its literary productions. Literature and art always seem to stem out from the vortex of the constant stages of changes.</p>
<p>This way the major shifts and turbulences as seen around lets us just observe the changing and crumbling of the old or static, with the welcoming of the new in bright new shades. With the wings of literature these changes in history and new ways of self expression remain under the expanding wingspan of man’s unlimited quest for new searches. Literature thus brightly ushers one into the world of the new, onto greater changes and leaps and marks of civilization. As more and more progression takes place, the taste and style of literature evolves and shift. Often enough what we see as national literature comes to be at a period where it is most prominently affecting the collective mentality of the nation during an important stage in history, especially a time where the nation is going through some rapid changes.</p>
