Who is a medieval poet?

There were a large number of medieval poets, including Hildegard of Bingen, Geoffrey Chaucer, Walter von der Vogelweide, Chrétien de Troyes, Marie de France, Christine de Pizan, Dante Alighieri, and Petrarch. There were so many, I am not sure how a complete list could be made. You should understand that the Late Middle Ages included much of the beginning of the Renaissance, and so some poets are listed in both times. Dante is one example. There is a link below to an article on medieval poetry.


Did the Renaissance begin when the middle ages ended?

No, the Renaissance began during the Late Middle Ages, and the times overlapped to a degree. Various historians date the end of the Middle Ages in the 15th or even early 16th century. They usually date the beginning of the Renaissance in the 14th century.


What books did people in the middle ages read?

[Response 1] In Italy I'm pretty sure plays were popular _________________________________________________________ [Response 2] Although the Middle Ages (especially the Late Middle Ages) were often a time of instability and turmoil, many literary works from the period have been called 'great' by literary scholars. These include 'Beowulf,' possibly the oldest major work of Old English; the Song of Roland, the oldest extant work of French literature; the medieval German romance 'Parzival'; the works of Dante, who invented the interlocking three-line rhyme scheme and daringly used vernacular in his 'Divine Comedy'; Petrarch's 'Il canzoniere'; Boccaccio's 'Decameron; 'Sir Gawain and the Green Knight'; and several others. The Middle Ages also saw what is most likely the first English book written by a woman: 'Revelations of Divine Love,' by Julian of Norwich.


Why was Europe ready for change at the end of the middle ages?

I think it was not a matter of Europe being ready for change. The Middle Ages did not suddenly end and a new age begin. The dates used for the end of the Middle Ages range from 1400 to as late as 1517. The dates for the beginning the Renaissance range back as far as about 1300, with some historians giving dates related to the life of Dante, who lived from 1265 to 1321. The end of the Middle Ages was not a revolutionary event, but an evolutionary process. The rise of Italian communes and republican city states, the rise of guilds, the growing importance of towns and cities, the rise of the Hanseatic League, and the rise of the middle class all preceded the end of the Middle Ages, as did a long list of technological advances. These things contributed to the beginning of the Renaissance, and gradually brought the Middle Ages to an end. Clearly there were events that contributed, such as the destruction of the Knights Templar, which created a demand for banks, and the Black Death, but the general trends that brought the Middle Ages to an end can be seen going back for centuries. Guilds existed at the very beginning of the Middle Ages. There was at least one school in Wales, Cor Tewdws, that opened before the Middle Ages started and closed after it ended, and other primary and secondary schools were being opened from the sixth century at the latest. The universities started opening in the eleventh century, with the opening of the University of Bologna, but it was clear that the opening of universities was merely a formalization of something that had been going on for at least decades. Venice was a republic from the seventh century. The world started to move past the Middle Ages, I think, before Charlemagne was even born.
