 Chinese Literature   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-28)
Chinese literature may be divided into three major historical periods that roughly correspond to those of Western literary history: the classical period, from the 6th century BC through the 2nd century AD; the medieval period, from the 3rd century to the late 12th century; and the modern period, from the 13th century to the present.
Initially, it was characterized by a vigorous vernacular literature that preceded by several centuries the appearance of modern colloquial literatures in the West.
Stimulated by the literature of the West, Chinese writers, led by Hu Shih, started a literary revolution known as the Chinese Renaissance in an attempt to urge the written use of colloquial language and to heighten its status as a means of scholarly expression.

Virginia is producing at last a literature both indigenous to its soil and imbuied with a realism that may be said to capture the major portion of the truth about its people and its civilization.
The Reconstruction literature of Virginia, however, which endured well into the twentieth century, was characterized by a nostalgia for the past and a romantic idealism that evaded facts.
Literature sustained a loss in 18o8 when John Daly Burk, a gallant young Irishman, was killed in a duel ten years after his coming to Virginia.

 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.
Literature was devoid of originality and substance; the formal side absorbed the chief attention of the writers.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Italian Literature   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-28)
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).

Some of the reasons why American literature developed along original lines and thus conveyed a message of its own to the world are to be found in the changed environment and the varying problems and ideals of American life.
The colonial literature of this period was influenced only in a very minor degree by the work of these men, for a generation usually passed before the influence of contemporary English authors appeared in American literature.
The greatest lesson taught by colonial literature, by men like Bradford, Winthrop, Edwards, and the New England clergy in general, is moral heroism, the determination to follow the shining path of the Eternal over the wave and through the forest to a new temple of human liberty.

Contrary to these claims, the literature reveals a remarkable consistency of usage and clarity of application by field botanists, ecologists, and other students of the natural landscape.
A sample of barrens descriptions is given to illustrate the common theme of dryness, infertility, fire adaptability, and a vegetation mosaic of patchy woody growth with distinctive flora and fauna (Table 2).
These characteristics emphasize xeric and infertile edaphic conditions, a distinctive biota, and vegetation consisting of many xerophytes and heliophytes in a physiognomy that is commonly patchy, occurring as a mosaic of herbs, bare substrate, and stunted, gnarled trees and shrubs.

Perhaps his most valuable services to historical literature were his laying down the lines of the great Cambridge Modern History, and his collection of a library of 60,000 vols., which after his death was purchased by an American millionaire and presented to Lord Morley of Blackburn, who placed it in the University of Cambridge.
He made many other excursions into literature which are hardly remembered, and ended his days as a country squire at the age of eighty.

Sheltered, yet limited by these rules of conduct, a woman's spiritual and physical life found its apt culminating expression in her literal "confinement" during the ninth month of pregnancy.
The subsequent historical disappearance of these pregnant women from literature and medical discourse, rather than suggesting the disappearance of that gender conflict, suggests the emergence of new deployments of power.
Margaret Homans, in her recent study of nineteenth-century literature, has suggestively argued that women during the nineteenth century were viewed as the bearers of words as well as of children.
