Seven words? Hmm...
Literature essentially transcends time, especially in translation.
Actually no that was just the first paragraph. Basically I said that it doesn't seem right to attribute a text to a certain period when we're going to be studying a translation (=re-creation) of it; analysed Beowulf specifically and argued it was a continuation of previously established legends, literature can't be defined as a specific point in time; lots of religion in medieval texts --> do our notions of time really matter when dealing with the eternal?; in itself, literature is above the constraints of time (for obvious reasons, ie we can still today read texts written 1000 years ago) blablablabla
I said a few other things but I can't really remember. And I expect an immediate paragraph applauding my obvious talents please
