 * The Renaissance began with a return to the study of the classical languages of Greek, and particularly, Latin. Then as more and more people became literate, writers started to use their own vernacular instead of Latin, to widen their audience. Writers started to write about tragedies and comedies. Also in this time period, writers began writing in Italian using calligraphy. Sonnets were incredibly popular during the Renaissance. The beginnings of printing and mass book production, and the popularization of fiction andother different genres, aimed at a wider, more commercial audience, like the "Groundlings" who attended Shakespeare's plays.
