"Middle English" is a subset of English. Middle English is the type of English spoken in Chaucer's time, as in _The Canterbury Tales_. English is a language as a whole, but over time, the dialect has changed from Old English, the dialect spoken in _Beowulf_, to Middle English, the dialect spoken in Chaucer's time, in _The Canterbury Tales_, to Modern English, the dialect spoken in Shakespeare's time, in _Hamlet_, to today's English, the dialect I'm writing in right now.
