Answer:
The Norman Conquest of 1066 CE established French as the language of literature and transformed the English language from Old English (in use c. 500-1100 CE) to Middle English (c. 1100-1500 CE). The stories written during both these eras were originally medieval folklore, tales transmitted orally, and since most of the population was illiterate, books continued to be read out loud to an audience. The aural aspect of literature, therefore, affected the way it was composed. Writers wrote for a performance of their work, not a private reading in solitude.
Literacy rates rose during the 15th century, and with the development of the printing press, more books became available. The act of reading by one’s self for personal pleasure became more common and this changed the way writers wrote. Thomas Malory’s Le Morte D’Arthur (written 1469, published 1485 CE) is the earliest novel in the west – a work written for an individual audience with layers of personal meaning and symbolism – and lay the foundation for the development of the novel as recognized in the present day.
