By the end of the fourteenth century, however, English was once again a written language, because it was used instead of French by the ruling classes. During the Hundred Years’ War Edward III (1327–1377) actually forbade the speaking of French in his army. It was a way of making the whole army aware of its Englishness, which was important during the war. Two writers, above all others, helped in the rebirth of English literature: William Langland (1330–1400), a priest and poet, whose poem ‘Piers the Ploughman’ [«Петр Пахарь»] gives a powerful description of his time, and Geoffrey Chaucer (1340– 1400), a poet who has become much more famous: ‘The Canterbury Tales’ [«Кентерберийские рассказы»], etc. Middle English is Different But Middle English, the language of the fourteenth and the fifteenth centuries, was very different from Old English
