  Roosevelt, Theodore. 1913. History as Literature: I. History as Literature   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Because history, science, and literature have all become specialized, the theory now is that science is definitely severed from literature and that history must follow suit.
Literature may be defined as that which has permanent interest because both of its substance and its form, aside from the mere technical value that inheres in a special treatise for specialists.
For a great work of literature there is the same demand now that there always has been; and in any great work of literature the first element is great imaginative power.

 Comparative Literature in China
As an academic discipline, comparative literature increasingly has lost its vigor and radicalism seen in the 1950s and the1960s and now it appears a discipline waiting to be replaced by cultural studies or translation studies not necessarily taught and worked on in departments of comparative literature.
The crisis of comparative literature that has been a cause of concern for scholars in China in recent years registers, in fact, a deeper level of crisis that is also the crisis of the ideological and political foundation of comparative literature -- its conviction in the existence of the universality of literary values.
The crisis of comparative literature is the crises of the ideological understanding of the function of comparative literature, but it may constitute an opportunity to reinvent comparative studies in response to the challenges of recent critical developments.

 Literature
Virginia is producing at last a literature both indigenous to its soil and imbuied with a realism that may be said to capture the major portion of the truth about its people and its civilization.
The Reconstruction literature of Virginia, however, which endured well into the twentieth century, was characterized by a nostalgia for the past and a romantic idealism that evaded facts.
Literature sustained a loss in 18o8 when John Daly Burk, a gallant young Irishman, was killed in a duel ten years after his coming to Virginia.

 Why Victorian? A Period and Its Problems By Joseph Bristow, Literature Compass
Where Dowden eagerly identified 1832 as the year that ‘separat[ed] the present period of literature from that which immediately precedes it’,  (18)  Traill would emphasize what he saw as the yawning gap between the death of Byron in 1824 and the queen’s accession some thirteen years later.
Even if he delights in the ‘happy chance’ that connects the ruler and the literature of her reign, Traill’s selection of male works which belong to this almost unmatched ‘twenty years’ record’ is far from accidental.
His implicit belief that Queen Victoria’s reign began on a note that was as memorable as that which he ascribes to the canon of literature glorified by the opening twenty years of her reign is likewise misjudged.

There is, however, a real basis for conflict in so far as science claims exclusive possession of the field.

 U.S. Postage Stamps of 1913
Like most of the commemorative stamps that preceded them, the Panama Pacific commemoratives were issued to promote a current event, the Panama Pacific Exposition and World's Fair in San Francisco from February 20 to December 4, 1915.
It may seem strange that stamps issued in 1913 would be inscribed "San Francisco, 1915", but the stamps were issued early to give advance notice of the event.
Since the Post Office did not regard the change in shade as a new variety, collectors did not put as many of these stamps aside as they had the yellow ones, and the orange stamps bring a small premium today.

The history of Bangla and its literature is divided into three periods: old Bangla (c 1000-1350 AD), middle Bangla (1350-1800) and modern Bangla (1800- present).

William Wells Brown, Frederick Douglass, Frances W. Harper, and a few other southern fls wrote various types of short prose fiction during the 19th Near the turn of the century Charles Waddell Chesnutt elevated southern fl short fiction to the level of literary art.
