8 POINTS ON BARENESS OF LITERATURE


·       The wars of the Roses (1455-1485) had a fatal effect on art and literature

·       They distracted the country, wasted its energy and destroyed noble families on whose patronage early literature and art were dependent.

·       The period following the death of Chaucer was in the grip of wars, unrest, chaos and lawlessness.

·       No writer of Genius was born during these long years. It is  perhaps note- worthy that the 15th century was not in England an age of great men in any field of activity.

·       There was nobody to carry on the Chaucerian tradition with any great credit.

·       Another cause of bareness was the deficiency of poetic understanding among the followers of Chaucer.

·       The free movement of thought was checked during this period.

·       In 15th century, there was little enough to inspire and much to repress literary genius.
