What are the contribution of the common people to old English literature?
Old English literature encompasses literature written in Old English (also called Anglo-Saxon), during the 600-year Anglo-Saxon period of England, from the mid-5th century to the Norman Conquest of 1066. These works include genres such as epic poetry, hagiography, sermons, Bible translations, legal works, chronicles, riddles, and others. In all there are about 400 surviving manuscripts from the period, a significant corpus of both popular interest and specialist research.Most texts were written and compiled in theme books for monasteries and courts. And where we encounter such poems like The Wife's Lament or The Husband's Answer, we must not assume that these were composed by 'common people'.It also remains to be seen how much the common people have done in increasing the popularity of old English literature.
