  CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: German Literature
Literature as an art suffered by being pressed into the service of religious controversy; it became polemic or didactic, and its prevailing form was prose.
Its effect on the German language was enormous; the dialect in which it is written, a Middle German dialect used in the chancery of Upper Saxony, became gradually the norm for both Protestant and Catholic writers, and is thus the basis of the modern literary German.
Literature was devoid of originality and substance; the formal side absorbed the chief attention of the writers.

 Bjornstjerne Bjornson Biography   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Bjørnson was anxious "to create a new saga in the light of the peasant," as he put it, and he thought this should be done, not merely in prose fiction, but in national dramas or folke-stykker.
Bjørnson's strong and sometimes rather narrow patriotism did not blind him to what was considered the fatal folly of such a proposal, and his lectures and pamphlets against the målstræv in its extreme form were very effective.
He died on the April 26, 1910 in Paris, where for some years he had always spent his winters, and was buried at home with every mark of honour and regret, a Norwegian warship having been sent to convey his remains back to his own land.

 Nobel Prize in Literature 1903 - Presentation Speech
The poet to whom with true satisfaction the Swedish Academy has awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature was born at Kvikne, Norway, where his father was a minister and where as a child he could listen to the waters of the Orkla boiling at the bottom of a gorge.
His works are never adulterated; on the contrary they are pure metal, and whatever modifications the years and experience have imposed upon his point of view and that of others, he has never ceased to combat the claim of the senses to dominate man.
But in their noble severity they are infinitely preferable to the laxness that is all too prevalent in the literature of our day.

On teacher pay: “Teaching in the public schools will not be a suitably attractive and permanent career, nor will it command as much of the ability of the country as it should, until the teachers are properly compensated and are assured of an undisturbed tenure during efficiency and good behavior.

As we construct a historicized genealogy of various notions of American literature, we will bring a great deal of recent scholarship to bear on a number of documents including novels, literary histories, anthologies, bibliographical tools, and scholarly editions.

 CTTC - What's In a Name? Malacochersus tornieri

The pancake tortoise was first described in the scientific literature in 1903 by the Austrian herpetologist Friedrich Siebenrock, in honor of whom the genus Siebenrockiella was named.
In 1929, the Russian Wilhelm Lindhomb recognized the pancake tortoise's distinctness from other tortoises and proposed the genus Malacochersus, giving the pancake tortoise the generally accepted scientific name of Malacochersus tornieri (Siebenrock, 1903).
