Middle English
The Norman conquest of England in 1066 marked the beginning of the Middle English period. The Norman French became the new ruling class and ruling language over the next 200 years, leaving a significant influence on English vocabulary, society, and culture. Middle English had a simpler grammar compared to Old English, with changes like pronouns starting with "th" instead of "h". The Normans introduced over 10,000 words to English, especially terms related to government, law, war, and high society. Their influence combined French and English elements and reflected in clothing styles as well.
Early modern english
Early Modern English developed between the 15th-17th centuries through two major influences: the Great Vowel Shift which changed pronunciation, and the invention of the printing press which increased literacy and standardized spelling. During this period, grammar became more fixed and many Latin and Greek words were introduced to the language. Shakespeare's writings in the late 16th/early 17th centuries helped further standardize English through his introduction of new words, phrases, and literary techniques.

Features of Romanticism
The document discusses the key characteristics of Romanticism in English literature. It notes that Romanticism began in the late 18th century with poets like Wordsworth and Coleridge, and was influenced by earlier "Transition Poets". The movement emphasized nature, emotion, medievalism, folk culture, and the supernatural. It highlighted the individual artistic spirit and moved away from rigid Neoclassical conventions. Some hallmarks included an appreciation of nature, a focus on strong personal feelings, and the incorporation of simpler language and folk forms of expression. While definitions varied, Romanticism tended to prize emotion and imagination over reason.

History about English Periods especially "Early Modern English".
Early Modern English, Early New English (sometimes abbreviated to EModE, EMnE or EME) is the stage of the English language from the beginning of the Tudor period to the English Interregnum and Restoration, or from the transition from Middle English, in the late 15th century, to the transition to Modern English, in the mid-to-late 17th century.
Before and after the accession of James I to the English throne in 1603, the emerging English standard began to influence the spoken and written Middle Scots of Scotland.
The grammatical and orthographical conventions of literary English in the late 16th century and in the 17th century are still very influential on Modern Standard English. Most modern readers of English can understand texts written in the late phase of Early Modern English, such as the King James Bible and the works of William Shakespeare, and they have greatly influenced Modern English.
Texts from the earlier phase of Early Modern English, such as the late-15th century Le Morte d'Arthur (1485) and the mid-16th century Gorboduc (1561), may present more difficulties but are still obviously closer to Modern English grammar, lexicon and phonology than are 14th-century Middle English texts, such as the works of Geoffrey Chaucer.

Literature from this era focused on themes of sadness, gloom, and criticism as political and religious divisions split the country during this turbulent time in English history.
