a. that the founder of the Carolingian renaissance in literature and the arts was himself an illiterate driven by his desire - Nothing wrong here.
b. that the founder of the Carolingian renaissance in literature as well as in the arts was himself an illiterate and also driven by his desire - Need a verb in the 2nd independent clause
c. that the founder of the Carolingian renaissance in literature and the arts was himself an illiterate and that he was driven by his desire - Distorts the meaning.The second part conveys that the life of Charlemagne was driven by desire
d. that the founder of the Carolingian renaissance in literature as well as in the arts was himself an illiterate and that he was driven by his desire- Same as C above.
e. that the founder of the Carolingian renaissance in literature and the arts was himself an illiterate and that his desire drove him - The second part after and should be in passive voice as is the first independent clause.Wrong.
