본문내용

No one can deny the enormous effect that God and Christianity gave to English literature. Especially, when it comes to the literature written in Old English or Middle English, the influence is shown excessively. According to the Norton Anthology, about “a third of surviving Anglo-Saxon poetic texts are translations of biblical material.” (100) In other words, it is almost impossible to think English literature separately from God. Then, is it possible to say that the concept of Christianity improved the overall quality of English literature? No one can sure. Especially, the Christians may not able to judge objectively.
