In English literature, middle age typically refers to the period of life between youth and old age, often characterized by maturity, responsibilities, and self-reflection. Middle age is a common theme in literature, explored through the lens of characters navigating challenges such as career changes, relationships, and societal expectations.
English literature is typically divided into different periods or ages. The common division includes the Old English (Anglo-Saxon) period, the Middle English period, the Renaissance period, the Neoclassical period, the Romantic period, the Victorian period, the Modernist period, and the Postmodern period. This division helps to categorize literary works based on the time in which they were written and the characteristics of the writing during those periods.
