	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.

	A Short Biographical Dictionary of English Literature, by John W. Cousin (c)
		He had a powerful influence on the thought and literature of his time in America, and was the author of books on Milton and Fénelon, and on social subjects.
		His knowledge of philosophy, science, theology, and literature was alike wide and deep, and his powers of conversation, or rather monologue, were almost unique.
		In literature C. is the connecting link between the classical school of Pope and the natural school of Burns, Crabbe, and Wordsworth, having, however, much more in common with the latter.

	glbtq >> literature >> Tennyson, Alfred Lord
		His "Mort d'Arthur" (1842) portrays the passing of the great medieval king as he is attended by his loving, though somewhat wavering, attendant Sir Bedivere; the latter cradles his dying companion in his arms and sheds numerous tears over Arthur's death and the passing of an entire age of heroism.
		Similarly, "Sir Galahad" (1842) is an evocation of a period and mindset far removed from that of narrow Victorian definitions of masculinity.
		Calling himself a "maiden knight," Galahad describes his earnest search for the Holy Grail after seeing it once in a vision; Tennyson uses Galahad effectively and transgressively as a symbol of purity in body and spirit, a man whose "virgin heart" is given to his God.

	Digital History
		In 1842, Ralph Waldo Emerson lectured in New York and called for a truly original American poet who could fashion verse out of “the factory, the railroad, and the wharf.” Sitting in Emerson’s audience was a 22-year-old New York printer and journalist named Walt Whitman (1819—1892).
		A sprawling portrait of America, encompassing every aspect of American life, from the steam-driven Brooklyn ferry to the use of ether in surgery, the volume opens not with the author’s name but simply with his daguerreotype (a forerunner of the photograph).
		Unconventional in style—Whitman invented “free verse” rather than use conventionally rhymed or regularly metered verse—the volume stands out as a landmark in the history of American literature for its celebration of the diversity, the energy, and the expansiveness of pre—Civil War America.

	Charles Dickens - Biography and Works
		I originally posted this on the Orwell board, since he was the author of the essay, but I finally figured out that there might be more people here on the Dickens board who are interested in an essay that focuses on Dickens' literature.
		This is what I had posted there about Orwell's essay on Dickens: Orwell's essay on Dickens is probably the best explanation of Dickens that I've ever read, and shows that Orwell's insight was not limited to political and social matters but extended to literature as well.
		A few of my favorite highlights from his essay: - Orwell describes Dickens' outlook on life (as represented in Dickens' writing) as: "If men would behave decently, the world would be decent." A perfect synopsis of Dickens, I think.
