§ In the 16 th century the influence of
RENAISSANCE on English literature was
really huge and noticeable. Actually RENAISSANCE brought many cultural , artistic and
historical changes in England , but today`s post is based on literature changes only .
Many writers concentrated on creating new words for literature as the English language was poor in words at
those times. For instance , the major literary figures in the English Renaissance
include
They
took words in order to enrich language .For
example from French they took words like battery , explore, progress ,from
Italian balcony ,opera ,concerto and so on. So the major influence on English literature during
Renaissance connected with borrowing words from foreign languages. I talked
about King James Bible in my previous post , so it is essential to notice that
his and William Shakespeare`s influence on English Literature during
Renaissance were the greatest ones. All
textbooks share this opinion about King James Bible and William Shakespeare . King James Bible as a work of translation and
as a linguistic and literary accomplishment. The Bible brought cultural impact and precise literary
influence during that century in
English literature, until today. The King James Bible was essential from the perspectives of literary, linguistic,
religious or cultural history.
It is wide known that William Shakespeare created many words using them for the first time in his poems ,
sonnets or comedies .The famous quotation “TO
BE or NOT TO BE “ was
used by him and became famous . So many people did everything to enrich English Language and Literature as well.
