  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.

By the middle of the 17th century, authors and readers belonged to the same tightly knit society centred on Paris and the court, and literature’s principal focus was the life of the aristocracy and the upper-middle classes.
In De la Littérature (On Literature, 1800) and De l’Allemagne (On Germany, 1810) she argues that aesthetic judgements should be relative, not absolute, and should be made in the light of geographical and historical factors.
Thus, she asserts, the passionate, imaginative literature of northern Europe is as valid as the imported Classicism of the Mediterranean: and moreover, it has a heart and soul.

 EH.Net Encyclopedia: Fur Trade (1670-1870)
Then in 1670, a charter was granted by the British crown to the Hudson's Bay Company, which began operating from posts along the coast of Hudson Bay (see Figure 1).
Perhaps surprising, given the emphasis that has been placed on it in the historical literature, was the comparatively small role of alcohol in the trade.
Much of the literature argues that Indian trappers reduced their effort in response to higher fur prices; that is, they had backward-bending supply curves of labor.

 Lower Division Courses Spring 2007
The study of English literature, as a discipline, did not fully take shape until the 19th century—a time when the little island nation of England had become the head of the sprawling British Empire.
This is still part of the reason that we study literature today: it helps us feel as though we better understand how far we have (or haven't) come in the history of human experience.
At the same time, whether we notice it or not, the literature we read is tangled up with the societies that produced it—their religion, politics, nationalism, and everyday life.

 ipedia.com: Provençal literature Article   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
Consequently Romanic literatures in general (and this is especially true of Provençal, as it does not extend beyond the medieval period) afford only an incomplete representation of the intellectual development of each country.
From the beginning the sentiments, real or assumed, of the poets are expressed in such a refined and guarded style that some historians, over-estimating the virtue of the ladies of that time, have been misled to the belief that the love of the troubadour for the mistress of his thoughts was generally platonic and conventional.
But in any case it is easy to understand that, the countries of the langue d'oil having a full developed literature of their own suited to the taste of the people, the troubadours generally preferred to go to regions where they had less to fear in the way of competition.

 Evolution (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)
These difficulties in the theory resulted in a variety of criticisms that were eventually to lead to the downfall of preexistence theory in its original form, although the theory was to have a long subsequent history through a modification of the “germ” theory (Roger 1997a, chp.
The dominance of some form of preexistence theory of generation between roughly 1670 and the 1740s provides some explanation for the lack of efforts among natural philosophers to develop transformist theories of species origins in the same period.
To distinguish these two meanings of relationship, Owen introduced into the literature a crucial distinction between resemblances of “homology” meaning the presence of the same parts in every variety of form and function—Geoffroyean relationship—from “analogy,” the similarities of parts in their functional adaptations—Cuvierian relationship.

Dryden's labour in the writing of plays and the translation of the classics, came to an end in 1663; as, in that year, his fortunes took a considerable turn for the better when he married a daughter of an earl; soon, he was appointed poet laureate and royal historiographer (1670).
He was not a profound thinker; his philosophy is that rather of the market place than of the schools; he does not move among high ideals or subtle emotions.
One of the best known and most respected figures in English literature is Milton; though, it has been said (De Selincourt), that "the true appreciation of Milton is the last reward of the scholar." Milton was religious (considering the age, - how could one be anything else).
