Úryvek

"1) Old English literature
This literatur eis written in the Anglo-Saxon language. It´s beginnings have theirs roots in the territory where the Anglo-Saxon tribes came from, that´s today´s Denmark and its surroundings.
The oldest epic poem – Beowulf – wich appeared probably in the 7th century (with older roots) has over 3000 lines.
Because of his influence on the literature and culture of that time, not to mention his political importace for his country – the work of King Alfred the Great (849-901) can be compared to that of Charles IV. in our country more than four hundred years ago. The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle inspired by King Alfred went on describint English history until the middle of the 12th century.

2) Middle English lit.
This title revers to the English literature written approximately between 1100-1500. The religious literatur eis represented by John Wicliffe (1324-1384) who influenced our Jan Hus.
The outstanding autor of this period is certainly Geoffrey Chaucer (1340-1400) with his Canterbury Tales. It´s a series of poems totalling about 17000 lines mostly written in rhyming heroic couplets (one or two of the tales are in prose)

3) Modern English lit.
The Renaissance period in England is represented in literature by several personages. Christopher Marlowe (1564-1593) migh have been another „Shakespeare“, if had he not been killed. But even in his relatively short life he wrote many works of world fame, for example The Tragical history of doktor Causy, The Jew of Malta, Tamburlaine the Great. I should also mention Benjamin Jonson (1572-1637) as the last of the whole series of the English playwrights of this time.
The literature of the next period (Baroque) is represented by John Milton (1608-1674). His life is connected with the Civil war in England at that time. After the execution of Charles I. he was appointed Latin secretary to the newly formel Council of State. His work includes pamphlets – Aeropagitica, mainly poetry, the masterpieces being Paradise lost, Paradise regained, Samson agonie."
