 The Project Gutenberg eBook of A Short Biographical Dictionary Of English Literature, by John W. Cousin.
The word "literature" is here used in a very wide sense, and this gives rise to considerable difficulty in drawing the line of exclusion.
A.'s contributions to literature were few, and, in comparison with his extraordinary learning, comparatively unimportant.
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.

 The Project Gutenberg eBook of The Influence of Old Norse Literature on English Literature, by Conrad Hjalmar Nordby
Yet so it was, and until 1844 our English literature had no other inspiration in old Norse writings than the rude and rugged songs that first lent their lilt to Gray.
Matthew Arnold's strong sympathy with noble and virile literature of whatever age or nation led him in time to Old Norse, and his poem "Balder Dead" is of distinct importance among the works of the nineteenth century in English literature.
The name literature, in its narrow sense, belongs to only a few of the writings that we have examined up to this point, but what we are now to inspect deserves that title without the shadow of a doubt.

 glbtq >> literature >> St. Sebastian
It was primarily the Renaissance depiction of Sebastian that served a later, explicitly homosexual cult of St. Sebastian that took hold with remarkable force beginning in the nineteenth century.
Visiting Rome in 1844, Charles Dickens expressed bewilderment that St. Sebastian should have been such a pervasive subject for Italian artists, bemoaning the "indiscriminate and determined raptures" of certain critics as "incompatible with the true appreciation of the really great and transcendent works of art."
Increasingly, Sebastian in the nineteenth century is fought over by Victorian traditionalists and mischief-minded aesthetes attempting to sustain competing conceptions of the martyr's identity.

She saw herself as a catalyst for the women in her groups, and at her “Conversations” she attempted to guide and draw out the participants, to force them to realize the potential within themselves.
Her “Conversations” between 1839 and 1844 were so popular—even though among the most expensive in Boston—that she was finally constrained to admit men.
Papers on Literature and Art (1846) collected only a few of these, including her famous essay surveying American literature, much of which is reprinted in this volume.

But all the literature on the subject up to the discovery of this manuscript concedes the probability that the Book of Mormon was fashioned after Spaulding's story; that it was a servile imitation covering the same names, phraseology, and incidents, everything except its religious cast.
Its population rose to 15,000, and, in 1843, Joseph Smith was elected mayor.

 Book Review
His Select Bibliographical Guide to California Catholic Periodical Literature 1844-1973 contains 800 items of interest, not only to Catholic historians, but to all persons interested in California's vivid and exciting past.
As Father Weber points out in his preface, these entries provide "a useful tool for analyzing and appraising the Franciscan enterprize in the Golden State and the years of transition and development that followed its wake." Fortunately over 95% of the items listed are available in either original or xerox form.
It is a small work in format, but it is to be prized — an addition of value to university, public or private libraries.
