Excerpt from Fourteenth Century Verse Prose In the first a flourishing vernacular poetry is secondary in importance to the intellectual accomplishment of men like Bede and Alcuin (to name only the greatest and the last Of a line of scholars and teachers) who, drawing their inspiration from Ireland and still more from Italy direct, made all the knowledge Of the time their own, and learned to move easily in the disciplined forms Of Latin prose. During the second the impulse again came from without. In twelfth-century France the creative imagination was set free. In England, which from the beginning Of the tenth century had depended more and more on France for guid an'ce, the nobles, clergy, and entertainers, in whose hands lay the fortunes Of literature, had a community of interest with their French compeers that has never since been approached. SO England shared early in the break with tradition; and during the thirteenth century the native stock is almost hidden by the brilliant growth Of a new graft.
