	English literature - LoveToKnow 1911
		The literature which arose in answer to this demand, though it consisted mainly of translations or adaptations of foreign works, yet served to develop the appreciation of poetic beauty, and to prepare an audience in the near future for a poetry in which the genuine thought and feeling of the nation were to find expression.
		In histories of English literature the ballads have been so commonly discussed in connexion with their rediscovery in the 18th century, that we are apt to forget that some of the very best were demonstrably composed in the 15th and that many others of uncertain date probably belong to the same time.
		The literature of translations from the classics, in prose and verse, increased; and these works, at first plain, business-like, and uninspired, slowly rose in style and power, and at last, like the translations from modern tongues, were written by a series of masters of English, who thus introduced Plutarch and Tacitus to poets and historians.

	French Literature - LoveToKnow 1911
		From the point of view of the general historian of literature it may not be improper here to give a caution against the frequent use of the word "proven" in such matters.
		The other, one of the most remarkable developments of sportive literature which the world has seen, produced the second indigenous literary growth of which France can boast, namely, the fabliaux, and the almost more remarkable work which is an immense conglomerate' of fabliaux, the great beast-epic of the Roman de Renart.
		Side by side with these two forms of literature, the epics and romances of the higher classes, and the fabliau, which, at least in its original, represented rather the feelings of the lower, there grew up a third kind, consisting of purely lyrical poetry.

	German Literature (Catholic Encyclopedia) - BibleWiki
		Literature as an art suffered by being pressed into the service of religious controversy; it became polemic or didactic, and its prevailing form was prose.
		Its effect on the German language was enormous; the dialect in which it is written, a Middle German dialect used in the chancery of Upper Saxony, became gradually the norm for both Protestant and Catholic writers, and is thus the basis of the modern literary German.
		Literature was devoid of originality and substance; the formal side absorbed the chief attention of the writers.

	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).

		The period was marked by a rebirth of culture based on the discovery of ancient manuscripts and the reevaluation of classical literature and philosophy, which spread eventually throughout Europe.
		Many of the great figures of early Renaissance literature were scholars concerned with philological research into and the translation of the Greek and Latin classics.
		In literature this change was intensified by a new classicism, which relied on the authority of Aristotle's rediscovered Poetics and spread later throughout all Europe.

		In its scientific and ethical aspects, Italian literature was influenced during the 18th century by the ideas of the 17th-century French scientist and philosopher René Descartes and by the writers of the 18th-century French Enlightenment.
		Early 19th-century Italian literature was marked not only by nationalism but also by a lingering classicism and by a new spirit of romanticism, which, emphasizing history and tradition, encouraged nationalism.
		Literature Before World War II Partly through the influence of foreign literary trends, various movements developed at the beginning of the 20th century in opposition to rhetoric and lyricism in poetry.

		Literatures produced exclusively in Switzerland are either written in the Raeto-Romance language or in one of the numerous varieties of local Swiss dialects.
		Raeto-Romance literature was in its origins predominantly ecclesiastical and began in the middle ages.
		At present dialect literature flourishes mainly in the German-speaking part of the country, chiefly because there the population regardless of social rank and education, consistently sticks to the use of the dialect for everyday purposes.

	Ancient Egyptian Literature - MSN Encarta
		In addition to Coffin Texts, Middle Kingdom religious literature comprises numerous hymns to the king and various deities—including a long hymn to the Nile—and ritual texts.
		Contacts with contemporary Greek literature are evident both in the epic cycle and the fables, in Egyptian texts (including prophetic literature) translated into Greek, and in a range of magical texts known in both Greek and Egyptian.
		From this period dates the celebrated Rosetta Stone, whose inscription, praising King Ptolemy V in hieroglyphic, demotic, and Greek scripts, was the key to the deciphering of Egyptian writing and thus to the foundation of modern Egyptology.

	[EMLS 1.3 (December 1995): 14.1-7] Review of The Theatrical City, and of Literature and Culture in Early Modern London.
		The editors' broad definition of the term "theatrical" is evident in their choice of dates to enclose the project: 1576 marks the building of the Theatre, 1649 the dramatic spectacle of the execution of Charles I. The texts covered include five plays, by Shakespeare, Dekker, Marston, Jonson and Massinger, John Stow's
		He studies the economic and social conditions of fin de siecle London, the structure of the guilds, and the historical figure of Simon Eyre to illuminate Dekker's representation of urban tensions and their resolution.
		He is alert to the ways in which the literature of the emerging metropolis both represents the expanding urban settlement and is its instrument in a process of urbanisation.

	Mystery of Francis Bacon
		It is now proposed, by the aid of the literature of the period from 1576 to 1620, and with the help of information derived from his own handwriting, to trace, step by step, the results of his industry, and to supply the reason for the concealment which he pursued.
		Notwithstanding the repetition by historians of the assertion that the good Queen Bess was a munificent patron of men of letters, literature flourished in her reign in spite of her action and not by its aid.
		And this youth it was who in 1576 passed from a country of literary and intellectual torpor into the brilliancy of the companionship of Pierre de Ronsard and his associates.

	ELIZABETHAN AND EARLY STUART LITERATURE
		In the hands of Shakespeare the blank verse employed for translation by the Earl of Surrey became a medium infinitely mobile between extremes of formality and intimacy, while prose encompassed both the control of Hooker and the immediacy of Nashe.
		The decisive event was the opening of the first purpose-built London playhouse in 1576 (see The Theatre), and during the next 70 years some 20 theatres more are known to have operated.
		While it was still possible for the theatres to address the nation very much as a single audience, the court, with the baroque, absolutist style it encouraged in painting, masque, and panegyric, was becoming increasingly remote from the country at large and was regarded with justifiable distrust.

		Though Gascoigne hardly attained the dignity of a literary artist, he certainly succeeded in laying aside the frivolity of his youth and became a portentous moralist.
		The Droomme of Doomesday is, in part, a translation of Innocent III’s De Contemptu Mundi sive de Miseria Humanae Conditionis, and A Delicate Diet, for daintie mouthde Droonkardes has nothing to distinguish it from the religious tracts of the time.

	CGFA- Bio: Titian
		They are based on Roman literature and adapt figures from ancient sculpture and from Michelangelo, but render these vividly sensuous and contemporary, uniting them with an equally powerful and beautiful natural world.
		This late style, an astounding phenomenon in the context of Renaissance art, had its final manifestation in the Pietà intended for Titian's own tomb chapel; the work was left unfinished at his death and is now in the Accademia in Venice.
		His work, which permanently affected the course of European painting, provided an alternative, of equal power and attractiveness, to the linear and sculptural Florentine tradition championed by Michelangelo and Raphael; this alternative, eagerly taken up by Peter Paul Rubens, Diego Velázquez, Rembrandt, Eugène Delacroix, and the impressionists, is still vital today.
