medieval literature
The middle ages saw the beginning of a rebirth in literature. Early medieval books were painstakingly hand- copied and illustrated by monks. Students learning to write used wooden tablets covered in green or black wax. Wandering scholars and poets traveling to the crusades learned of new writing styles. Literature exploded from the universities as scholars began to question convention and write social commentary.
