	ENG 201: Southern Literature
		Unlike the works of the Puritans, the American literature of the eighteenth century is largely secular and reflects the outlook of the Enlightenment, a cultural period in which European and American intellectuals emphasized humans’ control of their environment and valued artistic qualities such as order and balance.

		Literature, on the other hand, often challenges readers to follow relatively slow-paced plots, to study subtle psychological traits, and to find or to make meaning out of complex symbols, explicit or implicit allusions, and intricate patterns.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Irish Literature
		Early Irish literature and the sagas relating to the pre-Christian period of Irish history abound with references to ogham writing, which was almost certainly of pagan origin, and which continued to be employed up to the Christianization of the island.
		After the substantially pagan efforts may come the early Christian literature, especially the lives of the saints, which are both numerous and valuable, visions, homilies, commentaries on the Scriptures, monastic rules, prayers, hymns, and all possible kinds of religious and didactic poetry.
		Above all it is hard to accuse of time-serving or of pusillanimity a poet who could imperil his popularity in England by such a vigorous melody as that in which he compares the oppression of Ireland to the captivity of the Jews and prophecies the destruction of her tyrant.

	The Project Gutenberg eBook of A Short Biographical Dictionary Of English Literature, by John W. Cousin.
		The word "literature" is here used in a very wide sense, and this gives rise to considerable difficulty in drawing the line of exclusion.
		There are very many writers whose claim to admission may reasonably be considered as good as that of some who have been included; but even had it been possible to discover all these, their inclusion would have swelled the work beyond its limits.
