  The Nobel Prize in Literature 1915 - Presentation
Rolland made his debut in pure literature in 1897 with a play in five acts, Saint-Louis, which he published together with Aërt (1898) and Le Triomphe de la raison (1899), under the common title Les Tragédies de la foi (1909) [Tragedies of Faith].
In these plays he sought to set forth, under the mask of historial events, the miseries that souls faithful to their ideals meet in their struggle with the world.

  Yiddish Literature   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
Yiddish literature may be divided into three periods: the period of preparation, the classical age, and the postclassical period.
The brief classical age of Yiddish literature, from the late 19th to the early 20th century, is epitomized in three great writers of fiction: Shalom Jacob Abramowitz, better known as Mendele Mokher Sefarim (Mendele the Itinerant Bookseller); Shalom Aleichem; and Isaac Leib Peretz.
Peretz, who had assimilated the influences of the great Russian authors of his time and of the classic literature of Western Europe, was the most intellectual and the most cosmopolitan of the three writers.

 Bodily and Narrative Forms: The Influence of Medicine on American Literature, 1845-1915
Bodily and Narrative Forms: The Influence of Medicine on American Literature, 1845-1915, by Cynthia J. Davis.
In terms of precise chronology and location, the book spans the period of orthodox medicine's professionalisation in the United States, from the founding of the American Medical Association in 1845 through to 1915, the latter historical moment marking the allopaths’ arrival as the dominant force in the American medical marketplace.
Using a selective sample of the literary productions of this period, Davis asks how a small number of middle-class American authors grappled with these problems of changing notions of embodiment brought on by the increasing influence and authority of science in American medicine and society.
