  French Literature - LoveToKnow 1911
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.
With these, some of which date from the 12th century, may be contrasted, at the other end of the medieval period, the more varied and popular collection dating in their present form from the 15th century, and published in 1875 by M. Gaston Paris.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: English Literature
It is not unlikely that the written literature may have begun as early as the sixth century, but at any rate, by the middle of the seventh century the traces of it are clear in the work of Cædmon, according to the testimony of Bede.
It is the custom of historians of literature to divide the literary life of Chaucer into a French, an Italian, and an English period, according as his work was influenced by the manner of each national literature.
Yet it is to this acquaintance with Italy and its literature that we owe the revival of English poetry after its long relapse since the death of Chaucer.

 Bible (1611)
It was based on existing printed translations rather than on a study of the original manuscripts and although its title page bears the words "Appointed to be read in churches", no record exists of its Authorisation by King, Parliament, or Convocation.
The book has sometimes been described as "the only work of literature ever to be produced by a committee" and the beauty of its language led it to supersede all other English translations.
As no new edition of the Bible was to be prepared until the Revised Version of 1881, this book has exerted an unrivalled influence on the minds and language of the English speaking peoples.

 [EMLS 3.3 / SI 2 (January, 1998): 5.1-42] A Romance of Electronic Scholarship; with the True and Lamentable Tragedies ...
Q3 (1611) has "artyre," which makes a subsequent appearance in Arthur Gorges's Lucan (1614), a text that evidently borrows much of its rare diction directly from Hamlet, probably from Q3.
Suggested emendations for Hamlet's "dram of eale" include a "dram of ease" (Q3 [1611]), or of "bale," "base," "eel, "esil" (for eisel)," "evil," "e'il," "helebore," "ill," "lead," "leaven," and "bran of meal."[8] The most recent suggestion is Evert Sprinchorn's dram of "eagle" (as the alchemical symbol for ammoniac).
Literature is not so much created, as prompted -- word for word, this word for that -- from a range of possibilities within the writer's symbolic store.
