 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Italian Literature   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
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).

 Cultural City Bergen 2000, Bergen Public Library - Bergen in Literature
The city of Bergen, founded in 1070, was first and foremost a transit harbour, with facilities for storage and export of dried fish, and for import of goods from the Continent and the British Isles.
He left Bergen when he was 19 years old, and, after travelling for some years in Europe, spent the rest of his life as a professor in Copenhagen, where he died in 1754.
He is often referred to as "the father of Danish literature" and his comedies, strongly influenced by Molière, take place in a Danish setting; but some of the central characters in these plays are clearly marked by Holberg’s memories of daily life in the town where he was born.
