"without author
So, I’m going to talk about British literature and writers I start with medieval non-author literature. The very earliest Irish and Welsh texts, such as the Taliesin poems (containing the first reference to the wizard Merlin) and pagan Irish stories were probably being passed down by word of mouth. The most important literary relic is heroic epic Beowulf. It was written about 700 AD. In this poem pagan and Christian motif are mixed. It be enacted in Scandinavia and a plot contain supernatural elements. After Battle of Hastings Normans took control of England and affected development of literature. It’s knight novels era. The best-known knight novel is Sir Gawain and the Green Knight from 14th century. with author Geoffrey Chaucer (1340 - 1400) is considered to be the father of English poetry because he wrote in English rather than in French or Latin. His Canterbury Tales (a rude, funny collection of stories in verse that mock most sections of medieval society, including the Church) records the imagined conversations of pilgrims as they journeyed from London to Canterbury. In 15th century the knight novels were on the wane and the last important work from this genre is Le Morte d'Arthur or The Death of Arthur written by Thomas Malory"
