Topic: 1796 in literature


  
  CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Polish Literature
At this period, too, the Jesuit Skarga, the purest embodiment of Polish patriotism in literature, preached and wrote, calling upon all Poles to save their country, though that country was then so powerful that his cry of alarm was like the voice of a prophet.
During this period, the general course of literature was very like that of the preceding epoch, but more strongly marked with patriotic sadness as became a generation imbued with the constitutional ideas of the Four Years' Diet, but grown up under the shadow of a great catastrophe.
Poles had come to be ignorant of any other literature, and the pseudo-classic taste of the time, together with the glamour of Napoleon's victories, had an excessive influence upon both literature and politics, upon language and social life.

 William Pickering (1796-1854)
William Pickering, publisher and bookseller, was born on 2 April 1796 into "humble circumstances," although he was apparently the son of an earl and lady, who were not married to each other, and he was put out to be raised by a tailor and his wife (Keynes 9).
He was apprenticed at the age of 14 to Quaker booksellers John and Arthur Arch, and the arrangement may have been made by his biological father.
His standards were "unusually high for a man whose aims were, after all, primarily commercial" and he was, according to his biographer, able to become an expert in many areas, including natural history, entomology, and fly-fishing.

 BhashaIndia.com :: Telugu Features
The golden age of Telugu literature dawned around the 16th century AD under the patronage of the emperor Krishnadeva Raya of the Vijayanagar Era.
Although the first printed Telugu book was out by 1796, Telugu literature's renaissance set in later on in the early part of the 19th century.
Telugu literature's Renaissance came full circle with Kandukuri Veeresalingam's book, "Rakashekharacharitramu", considered to be the first novel in Telugu.

From its beginning, the nineteenth century in England had a purposeful homosexual literature of considerable bulk, both male and female, though it was fettered by oppression.
Since homosexuality was severely persecuted during the Romantic period, writers who treated the subject more or less positively were forced to encode it or leave it unpublished and were themselves frequently forced into exile.

 Damned Women by Jeannelle Laillou Savona   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
Jennifer Waelti-Walters's Damned Women: Lesbians in French Novels covers two hundred years of French literature (1796-1996) and over 130 novels featuring lesbian characters.
Such a large corpus will appear amazing to many specialists of French literature, since most of these novels are never mentioned in books of literary history and have never been studied.
Waelti-Walters's aim is to write an all-inclusive historiography of lesbian characters, and from the start, she defines lesbians as women who have sexual relations with other women, a contemporary and convenient definition, since it allows her to eliminate the eighteenth-century issue of 'romantic friendship' (Faderman) and focus on the theme of of bisexuality.
