CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: French Literature Hence the fondness of the literature of the seventeenth century for general ideas and for sentiments that are common to mankind, and its success in those kinds of literature which are based on the general study of the human heart. Hence the contempt of the seventeenth century literature for all that is relative, individual and mutable; in lyric poetry, which appeals primarily to the individual sentiment, in the description of material phenomena, and the external manifestations of nature, it falls short of success. For thorough understanding of the development of French literature in the seventeenth century, we must consider it in three periods: (1) from the year 1600 to 1659, the period of preparation; (2) 1659-1688, the Golden Age of classicism; (3) 1688-1715, the period of transition between the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. www.newadvent.org /cathen/06190a.htm   (14989 words)

Greek literature, modern. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22) literature written in Greek in the modern era, primarily beginning during the period of rebellion against the rule of the Ottoman Empire. The revolutionary society Philike Hetairea, founded in 1816, reflected the growing influence in Greece of the French Enlightenment and the rise of European romanticism; both furnished the intellectual framework for the War of Independence (1821–27) and spurred the postwar nationalist revival that awakened a modern Greek literature. Literature was hampered, however, by conflict between supporters of the demotic, or popular, literary style, and adherents of a reformed classical style. www.bartleby.com /65/gr/Greeklit-m.html   (729 words)

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. www.newadvent.org /cathen/08116a.htm   (13072 words)

What was Comparative Literature?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22) Comparative literature as an intellectual field arose in the nineteenth century, a counterpart of the equally new fields of comparative anatomy, comparative law, and comparative philology. The intellectual field and later the academic discipline of comparative literature, then, circulated and developed in nineteenth century Europe as a gentlemanly (and evaluative) inquiry into what constituted the worthy contemporary literatures of Europe, the exchanges between those literatures, and their links to shared traditions of the past. It is as noteworthy that the circulation and institutionalization of the concept of comparative literature was also concomitant with the colonial expansion of European states throughout the globe and with the intra-European contest over who would control which colonies. polyglot.lss.wisc.edu /complit/ZZ_complit_bkup_20040817/past.html   (452 words)

Literature While some steadfast scholars and critics of 18th Century writing maintain that Haywood's works do not qualify as "high" or classical literature because of the sexual content of her novels, she should not be overlooked. There is a saying, clich=E9 though it may be, that "imitation is the most sincere form of flattery." If that is the case, then Haywood, were she still alive, would be flattered to death by the countless imitators attempting to duplicate what she succeeded with in Love in Excess. Jane Austen began writing Emma in 1814, though it was not published until 1816, and then it was anonymous (as were all of Austen's novels initially due to the prejudices of her times). www.umich.edu /~ece/student_projects/ye_olde_bay/literature.html   (2928 words)

literature review With the benefit of hindsight it is possible to look back in the literature and wonder whether previous incidents of myopathy might have been described. As in Parson Boyce's fine old diary, (he was the sporting parson from Withypool who noted most of the runs from 1776 to 1816) the faded brown handwriting not infrequently records, 'hounds also killed sheep'.
