 GERMAN LITERATURE - LoveToKnow Article on GERMAN LITERATURE   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
When the vernacular literature began to emerge from an unwritten state in the 8th century, it proved to be merely a weak reflection of the ecclesiastical writings of the monasteries; and this, with very few exceptions; Old High German literature remained.
The disturbing and disintegrating element in the literature of the 13th century was thus the substitution of a utilitarian didacticism for the idealism of chivalry.
The literature of the middle of the century was not wanting in achievement, but there was nothing buoyant or youthful about it; most significant of all, the generation between 1848 and 1880 was either oblivious or indifferent to the good work and to the new and germinating ideas which it produced.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: German Literature
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.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: French Literature
Hence the fondness of the literature of the seventeenth century for general ideas and for sentiments that are common to mankind, and its success in those kinds of literature which are based on the general study of the human heart.
Hence the contempt of the seventeenth century literature for all that is relative, individual and mutable; in lyric poetry, which appeals primarily to the individual sentiment, in the description of material phenomena, and the external manifestations of nature, it falls short of success.
For thorough understanding of the development of French literature in the seventeenth century, we must consider it in three periods: (1) from the year 1600 to 1659, the period of preparation; (2) 1659-1688, the Golden Age of classicism; (3) 1688-1715, the period of transition between the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.

 Modern Gaelic Literature
It will be seen that a large proportion of the existing Gaelic literature of the early period is poetical.
In 1659 appeared the first fifty of the Psalms of David in metre by the Synod of Argyle.
The introduction to the little volume of 1659 details the difficulties which the authors met in converting the Psalms into Gaelic metre, one of which, they say, was the necessity of adapting them to the structure of the English Psalm tunes.

 Scientific Methods - scientific literature
As the number of scientists in the world has grown, and their geographical distribution has spread, these journals have effectively come to define what scientific knowledge is, and the ability to publish papers in prestigious international journals has become the hallmark of the succesful scientist.
It is not yet clear how scientific literature may develope on the web, but for the present you should be suspicious of anything you read on the web, unless you have good reason for thinking that a web site is reliable.
Thus the scientific literature may be considered to be self-policing, although it may take some years to make and disseminate corrections.

 Patent 4585582: Perfumery uses of 2-n-pentyl-2-cyclohexen-1-one
One of the main points of disagreement seems to be the preference of isomer (2) as compared to one or more of the isomers which have an unsaturated ring and a saturated side chain.
The fact that there are several "price-levels" also emphasize the difference in opinion as to which odor is closest to that of natural Jasmone, and which is the most desirable for general perfumery use.
Iso-Jasmones are used widely in perfumes and flavors, and the very attractive cost of certain isomer blends has contributed to an extensive use of these ketones in quite ordinary perfumes, not just reserved for the finest or most costly compositions.

 Czech Baroque Literature
Czech remained by far the majority language, however, and much valuable Czech literature was printed, including fine sermons and lyrical poetry, inspired by the revived spiritual and stylistic values of 17th-century Roman Catholicism.
On the other hand, all publications were subject to church censorship and copies of many "heretical" books were diligently sought out and destroyed.
The most lively cultivated Czech prose is to be found in abundant Catholic sermons and related devotional literature.

After beheading Charles I and abolishing the monarchy, England came under a Protectorate Rule from 1649 to 1659, with Oliver Cromwell as Lord Protectorate of England.
After Cromwell's death, the English decided they'd had enough of the Protectorate (is was as, if not more, oppressive than Stuart Monarchy), and they invited Charles I son Charles II to come back from Scotland and be King of England in 1660.
With him he brought a very open social attitude and opened again the gate of literature and arts that had been locked under Cromwell.
