 Literature: Newfoundland and Labrador Heritage
Among the genres of oral literature to be found in the Newfoundland context are folksongs and ballads, folk drama, proverbs, rhymes, riddles, jokes, recitations and monologues, local legends, personal experience narratives, and folktales.
The literature which began to emerge during the second quarter of this century was markedly responsive and particularly reactive to the radical social, cultural, and political changes which marked the period.
This, in turn, gave rise to a protracted debate in the literature over the relative merits of what was perceived to be the traditional culture and its role in the life of the province generally.

 Classics in the History of Psychology -- Krstic (1964)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-30)
In technical and encyclopaedic literature one can find somewhat different information about when the word "psychology" was formed and who was the first to use it.
In the main psychological and philosophical dictionaries, textbooks, and leading world encyclopaedias there are for the most part three different opinions of the origin of this term which, as the word denoting scientific or philosophic dealing with the phenomena of psychic (subjective, conscious) life, has now come into very wide use.
Rudolf Göcke1(1547-1628), in philosophic literature more known under his latinized name Goclenius, was professor of physics, mathematics, logic, and ethics at the university of his native town Marburg on Lahn.

 A Select Checklist in Progress
Scholars familiar with the bibliography-poor state of our literary culture agree that a major bibliographical effort is required to produce a detailed and comprehensive record of primary and secondary sources over the whole range of English Canadian literature from 1628 to the present.
It is invidious, not to mention embarrassing, to make comparisons and to comment on the authors considered 'major,' but one is forced to by the select list of authors the editors consider as having reached their majority.
It is unfortunate but the selection gives every appearance of having been based on the most popular authors included in current university courses in Canadian literature at some academic institutions as well as on doctoral dissertations known by the editors to have been recently completed or in progress.

 The Annotated Bibliography of Canada's Major Authors
When these critics turn to Canadian literature, they are faced with a dearth of bibliographies.
The bibliographer who attempts to answer these questions must make a choice: he must decide whether he will concentrate on producing a descriptive bibliography of a dead author, or whether he will produce enumerative bibliographies on dead and living authors designed to meet the needs of current criticism.
Public argument and discussion on bibliographical matters are rare enough in Canada and I would be remiss on several counts if I did not accept your invitation to join in.

 Collect Medical Antiques -- Anatomy: Modern Medicine Begins
Vesalius contested the accepted teachings of Galen and his independent studies started medicine, and indeed scientific investigation, on the road that has led to today's incredible achievements.
The next great landmark in medical literature came in 1628 by William Harvey when he wrote Exercitatio Anatomica de Motu Cordis et Sanguinis in Animalibus.
This study of circulatory physiology revolutionized medical investigation by the use of the scientific method and was a major departure from Galen, who had taught that blood ebbed and flowed throughout the body, beginning in the liver (9).
