 === 7. Christian literature of the period ===
-In Western Europe, past the millennium Christianity was definitely becoming predominant. As time went on, Christianity provided many (most?) written-down literature, particularly in medieval England. Various vernacular translations of the Bible were produced, starting with Wycliffe's in the late 14th C. These led up to one of the gems of the English Language, the King James version of the Bible. While published just out of period (1611), it is a fantastic example of how late-period English sounded, and how it was written by expert authors, translators and academics of the time. The other gem still quoted is Thomas Cramner's 1549 masterwork, the //Book of Common Prayer//. Even in recent translations (for the Anglican Church of Canada, 1962) the genius of Cramner and the beauty of his language shines through.
