	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.

	Devotional Literature
		Devotional Literature includes any religious book other than strictly doctrinal or theological works, intended to be used mainly for home devotion, that is, for meditation and prayer and also for uplift (edification).
		This type of literature then increased during the 18th century when Mennonites deviated still further from their original path, opening hearts and minds to this new kind of piety of the enjoyment of one's certain salvation after having overcome sin and reached a state of sanctification.
		The devotional literature, however, may be regarded as the true mirror of all these transitions and as an indicator of the spiritual life of the church and its members.

	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.

		Virginia is producing at last a literature both indigenous to its soil and imbuied with a realism that may be said to capture the major portion of the truth about its people and its civilization.
		The Reconstruction literature of Virginia, however, which endured well into the twentieth century, was characterized by a nostalgia for the past and a romantic idealism that evaded facts.
		Literature sustained a loss in 18o8 when John Daly Burk, a gallant young Irishman, was killed in a duel ten years after his coming to Virginia.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: 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).

	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.
		There were a great number of trends in 13th-century literature: religious poetry; poetry made popular by the French jongleurs; the comic-satirical poetry of Cecco Angiolieri; chivalric literature (the chansons de geste derived from the French); didactic and moralistic prose in which Brunetto Latini was prominent, and, the most widespread, love poetry.
		The prose of the 14th century was characterized by an explosion of religious literature, primarily aimed at the education and religious instruction of the people.

		Byron, in search of literature that would validate his own youthful homosexual feelings, found inspiration in the episode of Nisus and Euryalus, and published his own translation while he was still in his teens.
		Ancient Greece holds a unique place in the heritage of homosexual literature as it was a society that openly celebrated same-sex love in its poetry and prose.
		The gay tradition in literature from ancient times to the present is primarily a tradition not of prose but of verse.

		The first piece of literature to carry a print number was a 275 GTB/GTS owners manual with a print number of 01/65.
		Therefore, just because a piece of literature does not have a print number does not mean it is not an official factory publication.
		For those interested in the literature printed before 1965 there are two reference books written by Dick Merritt in 1975 and 1976 that deal specifically with early owners manuals and sales literature.

		Many Japanese male aristocrats would have been thoroughly educated in the Chinese classics, such as the Classic of Poetry (see page 812 in volume A) and the writings of Po Chü-i (see page 1393 in volume B), to prepare for a career in government administration.

	Francis Bacon [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
		He died in 1626, leaving behind a cultural legacy that, for better or worse, includes most of the foundation for the triumph of technology and for the modern world as we currently know it.
		Even so, the Lord Chancellor’s high place in the history of English literature as well as his influential role in the development of English prose style remain well-established and secure.
		Evidently Bacon believed that in order for a genuine advancement of learning to occur, the prestige of philosophy (and particularly natural philosophy) had to be elevated, while that of history and literature (in a word, humanism) needed to be reduced.

	Francis Bacon (1561-1626).
		He was the originator of the expression, "Knowledge is power." He was quite taken up by the "materialist" theories and the resultant discoveries of both Copernicus and Galileo.
		Bacon, along with Galileo are known in the literature as "the great anti-Aristotelians who created the 'modern scientific' view of Nature."
		If one is to get to know about another person's life and their work it will be necessary to take an historical look at the times during which that person lived; this is particularly so of Francis Bacon.

		In a very real sense, people who have read good literature have lived more than people who cannot or will not read....It is not true that we have only one life to live; if we can read, we can live as many more lives and as many kinds of lives as we wish.
		I know from personal experience that it is difficult for many people to enjoy 19th-Century English literature, for all that it presents some of the most trenchant and accurate portrayals of human emotion and experience one will ever read.
		Yet, as my co-writer Sherwood Smith long insisted to me before I finally took the plunge and became almost addicted to this literature, the rewards it bestows are more than worth the effort, both for insight into the human condition, and sheer enjoyment of the imagery and rhythm of the prose.

		COURSE DESCRIPTION: Literature and medicine may seem miles apart, because the Arts/Humanities and the Sciences are often seen as unlikely bedfellows.
		While literary authors have focused on the human condition in terms of pain, suffering and death, and the diseases that have brought these about, many physician authors have taken to writing literature with and without medical themes.
		This course will study works by traditional literary as well as physician authors, using some illustrations from film and art to explore the visual dimension.
