  Italian Literature
The rise of a literature, both written and spoken, in the vernacular began in the 13th century; a period of great political and civil revival in the Italian cities and a lively renaissance in art and culture after the difficult centuries following barbarian domination.
The most important literary movement of the latter half of the 13th century was what Dante called the "dolce stil novo".
Dante Alighieri (1265-1321): The 14th century was a period of gradual change in Medieval life and culture which gave rise to a new concept of existence.

 La Renaissance--famous Artists-free-painting
The term Renaissance, describing the period of European history from the early 14th to the late 16th century, is derived from the French word for rebirth, and originally referred to the revival of the values and artistic styles of classical antiquity during that period, especially in Italy.
In the 20th century the term was broadened to include other revivals of classical culture, such as the Carolingian Renaissance of the 9th century or the Renaissance of the 12th Century.
In general, the 15th century saw a modest recovery with the construction of palaces for the urban elites, a boom in the decorative arts, and renewed long-distance trade headed by Venice in the Mediterranean and the HANSEATIC LEAGUE in the north of Europe.

 Matter of France -   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
The Matter of France is a body of mythology and legend that springs from the Old French medieval literature of the chansons de geste.
Approximately one hundred of the poems themselves survive, in manuscripts that date from the twelfth to the fifteenth century.
Indeed, until the Celtic revival in Britain and Ireland breathed new life into the Arthurian cycle in the nineteenth century, the Matter of France and the Matter of Britain were more or less equally renowned divisions of medieval legend.

Arthurian legend or the Matter of Britain is a name given collectively to the legends that concern the Celtic and legendary history of the British Isles, especially those centering around King Arthur and the knights of the Round Table.
Various Celtic deities have been identified with characters from Arthurian literature as well: Morgan le Fay was often thought to have originally been the Irish goddess Mórrígan.
Many of these identifications come from the speculative comparative religion of the late nineteenth century, and have been questioned in more recent years.

In order to interpret spellings of Welsh names, it's important to understand that the spelling varied depending on the language that the scribe was using, among other factors.

In a sense all early modern prose fiction is experimental fiction; the works we'll be exploring in this seminar often seem to be challenging the limits of available genres and discourses, and I'll be emphasizing in particular the way that they interrogate or reimagine the protocols and possibilities of romance.
