 The Scope of Literature
Literature, like music, is an art of time, or "tempo": it takes time to read or listen to, and it usually presents events or the development of ideas or the succession of images or all these together in time.
The craft of literature, indeed, can be said to be in part the manipulation of a structure in time, and so the simplest element of marking time, rhythm, is therefore of basic importance in both poetry and prose.
Popular literature today is produced either to be read by a literate audience or to be enacted on television or in the cinema; it is produced by writers who are members, however lowly, of an elite corps of professional literates.

 The Art of Literature (Rexroth's Encyclopaedia Britannica article)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
To use the word writing when describing literature is itself misleading, for one may rightly speak of “oral literature” or “the literature of preliterate peoples.” The art of literature is not reducible to the words on the page; they are there because of the craft of writing.
As an art, literature is the organization of words to give pleasure; through them it elevates and transforms experience; through them it functions in society as a continuing symbolic criticism of values.
Cross-fertilization of literature and the arts now takes place more subtly, mostly in the use of parallel techniques — the rational dissociation of the Cubists or the spontaneous action painting of the Abstract Expressionists, for example, which flourished at the same time as the free-flowing uncorrected narratives of some novelists in the l950s and ’60s.

 Adam Mickiewicz and Polish Romantic Poetry.   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
Until the final partition of the country in 1795, Polish literature went through the usual European phases: the generally devotional poetry of the middle ages, the splendours of the late renaissance, the richness of baroque and then the clarity and enlightenment of classicism.
The mood darkened after 1863, and again during the 1918-39 period of Polish independence, when the approaching catastrophe became all too evident.
TThe literature of Poland is as varied as that of any other country, and a brief survey can only touch on a few outstanding achievements.

 Nobel Prize in Literature 1906 - Presentation Speech
Two qualities characterize this collection: on the one and, its classical cast and intonation, sometimes carried to the point where Carducci salutes Phoebus Apollo and Diana Trivia; and on the other, its profoundly patriotic tone, accompanied by a violent hatred of the Catholic Church and of the Pope's power, the strongest obstacles to Italian unity.
Yet Carducci is without doubt one of the most powerful geniuses of world literature, and such disapproval, voiced also by his compatriots, has not been spared even the greatest poets.
Regardless of the criticism which can justly be launched against him, the irrefutable truth remains that a poet who is always moved by patriotism and a love of liberty, who never sacrifices his opinions to gain favour, and who never indulges in base sensualism, is a soul inspired by the highest ideals.

 glbtq >> literature >> Decadence
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.
Several artists and art critics of the nineteenth century achieved a self-aware homosexual identity that is expressed in both their lives and their works, but lesbianism is only rarely depicted in terms of identity during this period.
The symbolist movement in painting and literature, which flourished in Europe from 1886 to 1905, was the first self-consciously queer movement in Western art history.

The literature of the language is chiefly Christian; but there are some remains of classic lore, and translations of treatises of more or less interest to the philosopher and others.
Such being the case, it is surely a thing to be desired that those who have the time and the talent should draw more or less freely from this venerable fountain, and impart to others what they obtain.
We must for a moment return, to observe that from a very 82 early date all the principal Greek fathers, and some of the classic authors, were translated into Syriac, and of the extant literature of the language translations form by far the larger portion.
