English Renaissance literature
Following the introduction of a printing press into England by [[William Caxton]] in 1476, [[vernacular literature]] flourished. The [[Reformation]] inspired the production of [[vernacular]] [[liturgy]] which led to the [[Book of Common Prayer]], a lasting influence on literary English language. The poetry, drama, and prose produced under both Queen Elizabeth I and King James I constitute what is today labeled as Early modern (or Renaissance).
