During the Middle Ages, significant achievements in art and literature included the development of Gothic architecture, characterized by soaring cathedrals adorned with stained glass and intricate sculptures. In literature, the period saw the rise of vernacular languages, exemplified by works like Dante's "Divine Comedy" and Chaucer's "Canterbury Tales," which made literature more accessible to the general populace.

This era laid the groundwork for the Renaissance, influencing subsequent artistic and literary movements.

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.
