Before this time, most all books, including the Bible, were written in either Latin or Greek, therefore the common people couldn't read them.

Now books could be printed and were not as costly. This brought about more books being translated and written in English. There was now a new emphasis on education and the availability of books had grown tremendously. Soon, more and more people were getting an education.
