No one could read nor write so there were no books. The only books produced were by monks and they were handwritten about the bible or copied from ancient texts. The Book of Kells is a good example of what the monks did.

How did the new vernacular literature reflect the growing national pride in the middle ages?

There was no literature in the middle ages. It takes a printing press to publish literature and that wasn't invented until 1446 in Germany. People couldn't read or write in the middle ages so no one could read literature, if it had existed. Because there was no "new vernacular literature" it did not reflect a national pride. People also didn't have "nationalism" in the middle ages. They owed an allegiance to a king and the nobility.

The Middle Ages lasted a thousand years. Cathedrals came and went, though most probably lasted. The number was very large.
