Explain some of the various medieval literary forms. why were writers employing these literary forms? your answer should be at least 100 words.

An illustration can be alliteration or the Slavic antithesis or like. Very frequently these pieces of writing were poems such as epic poems that would be hummed to the people who were most often not conversant. Writers and poets would have to sing the entire epics to spectators which is why these devices are used. They make it easier to recall because they act as formulas that the poet can follow like a pattern and by repeating them all the time and changing some events and names he could recall more or if he fail to recall they would give him time to create something up and make up for the losses.
