The Latin language was the most influential language in Europe during the middle ages. As a language of scholars and Church, it was prominent among the reading public in England. English literature remained under the impact of the language for a long time. This article traces the Latin tradition in English literature from the Anglo-Saxon period to the beginning of the Modern Age. It also underlines the contribution of this tradition in the development of English literature.
