  Italian Literature
This century in Italy, as elsewhere, is the golden age of vernacular ascetical and mystical literature, producing a rich harvest of translations from the Scriptures and the Fathers, of spiritual letters, sermons, and religious treatises no less remarkable for their fervour and unction than for their linguistic value.
Also in religious literature we have the ascetical letters of B. Giovanni Dominici (died 1419), a strenuous opponent of the pagan tendencies of the classical revival, and the vernacular sermons (1427) of St. Bernardine of Siena.
Political considerations colour most of the literature of the middle of the century, whether it be the historical writings of Cesare Balbo (1789-1853), the satirical and patriotic poems of Giuseppe Giusti (1809-50), the revolutionary lyrics of Gabriele Rossetti (1783-1854), the tragedies of Giovanbattista Niccolini (1782-1861), or the once admired romances of Francesco Domenico Guerrazzi (1804-73).

 Ming China: Ming Literature
At the top, literature and literary style had become moribund, fossilized by the insistence by the scholars on a rigid style and adherence to the Chinese classics.
In the areas, then, of classical Chinese literary forms, such as essays, philosophy, and poetry, all written in Classical Chinese, Chinese literature during the Ming is generally stultified and conservative.
The vital and dynamic literary activity, however, occurred at the fringes of literary respectability: in popular literary forms such as drama, the novel, the short story, and a racy and popular verse form called Shih-chu songs.

 Justus Lipsius [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
In 1572 Lipsius's property in Belgium was taken by Spanish troops during the civil war while he was away on a trip to Vienna (a trip that would later be used as the backdrop for the dialogue in De Constantia over a decade later).
This no doubt fictional conversation is set within the context of a visit to Langius by Lipsius during the course of a trip to Vienna that Lipsius had actually undertaken in 1572.
While some distance from his troubled homeland, the dialogue's character Lipsius reflects upon the nature of public evils (mala publica) and is guided by the older and wiser Langius into whose mouth the positive content of the dialogue is placed.

 English Literature Program at Pitt   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-28)
Commencing in the 2003-2004 academic year, a number of courses, most of them former 1000-level electives intended for English Literature majors, have become 600-level courses modified or designed--in the case of a few new ones, like "Sexuality and Representation" above--with the General Education, or non-Lit major, audience in mind.
The 600's, on the other hand, will emphasize the reading and critical discussion of particular literary traditions and types of writing (tragedy, satire, detective fiction, the literature of sports, science fiction, literature of immigration, and so on.
In this vein, Women and Literature, which has always been a challenging and probing course--not to mention one of our most popular!--fits much better into the 600 series than the introductory courses.

With the recognition of those on high and gifts bestowed (one of which was a farm in the Sabinian Hills above Rome), Horace was able to lead a life of leisure and luxury; and, eventually, was to acquire the position of the poet laureate.

One of the best known and most respected figures in English literature is Milton; though, it has been said (De Selincourt), that "the true appreciation of Milton is the last reward of the scholar." Milton was religious (considering the age, - how could one be anything else).
