	An introduction to Chinese literature
		Chinese literature may be divided into three major historical periods that roughly correspond to those of Western literary history: the classical period, from the 6th century BC through the 2nd century AD; the medieval period, from the 3rd century to the late 12th century; and the modern period, from the 13th century to the present.
		During the first half of the 20th century Chinese writers used literature as a mirror to reflect the seamy side of life, as a weapon to combat the evils of society, and as a form of propaganda to spread the message of class struggle.
		The greatest Chinese poetry was created during the Tang (Tang) dynasty (618-907), a period of general peace and prosperity ending in a decline.

		Structural alliteration ceases to be a feature of Norwegian poetry in the 13th century and of English in the 15th, killed off by the influx of rhymed verse from the south.
		It is the immediate descendant of the older stichic poetry and has enjoyed uninterrupted currency in Iceland for a thousand years, from the days of the Scandinavian settlement in the ninth century until the late nineteenth century, when its practice more or less lapsed.
		Skaldic poetry was composed in extremely elaborate types of strophes, is almost always attributed to named poets, and can be regarded as a species of occasional poetry that was produced to celebrate memorable events or to be recited on important contemporary occasions.

	PROVENCAL LANGUAGE - LoveToKnow Article on PROVENCAL LANGUAGE
		In Catalan poetry its application is often laid down in the 13th century, but as the charters and documents free from literary influence show no trace of it, its introduction into the poetry of this country may be assumed to be an artificial fact.
		The most ancient lyric poetry of the Catalans (13th and 14th centuries), composed on the model of the poetry of the troubadours, was often styled in Spain poesfa lemosina, and in the same country lengua lemosina, long designated at once the Provenal and the old literary Catalan.
		But while it is capable of being applied and in fact, has been applied, to each of the Romanic languages individually, the term is too general to be retained in a particular case; though it was revived in the beginning of the 19th century by Raynouard, the author of the Lexique roman.
