But certainly Modern English experienced an unparallelled flowering then. Just speculation on my part, but I wonder if Milton would have written Paradise Lost were it not for the King James Bible. As I recall, he had contemplated writing something Arthurian instead. I think it's no coincidence that the great writers (Chaucer, Shakespeare, Milton) steered clear of that mythos. Mallory? Spencer? No thanks.
