	PROSE - LoveToKnow Article on PROSE (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		The Latins called prose sermo pedestris, and later oratio soluta, thus showing their consciousness that it was not poetry, which soars on wings, and not verse, which is bound by the rules of prosodical confinement.
		The earliest of these great masters of prose survive, not in their works, but in much later records of their opinions; in philosophy the actual writings of Thales, A13aximander, Pythagoras and Empedocles are lost, and it is more than possible that their cosmological rhapsodies were partly metrical, a mingling of ode with prose apophthegm.
		Raleigh wrote English prose that was perhaps more majestic than any which preceded it, but he revelled in length of sentence and in ponderosity of phrase, so that it is probable that the vast prestige of The History of the World on the whole delayed the emancipation of English prose more than it furthered it.

	Classical Prose Movement - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Classical Prose Movement (Chinese 古文運動 pinyin guwen yundong) of the late Tang dynasty and the Song dynasty in China advocated clarity and precision rather than the florid piantiwen (駢體文) style which had become popular since the Han dynasty.
		The movement also had political and religious aspects, as Confucian scholars tried to combat the influence of Taoism and Buddhism on the emperors.
		The first great promoters of the movement were Han Yu and Liu Zongyuan who were not only great writers but also great theorists, providing the foundation of the movement.

		It cannot be too often said that prose is the result of conversation, but it must at the same time be insisted upon that conversation itself is not necessarily, nor often, prose.
		Prose is not the negation of all laws of speech; it rejects merely those laws which depend upon metre.
		In prose, that the meaning should be given is the primal necessity.

	Classical Music
		The classical piece is a composition in a style that has been adopted by the acknowledged great men of the art; a style that has approved itself by the test of long endurance, and particularly the style that is purest, has least admixture of things extraneous to the art itself.
		Classical music, then, is that in which The Art of the Musician is elaborated through forms which have been approved by the test of long use.
		The movement certainly has not the form of a sonata, for it is one movement while a sonata is invariably a form in more than one movement, although the movement now under consideration is the essential one.

	Classical Humanism
		THE enlargement of classical studies, whereby to the old idea of "pure scholarship" was added the conception of opening up the life and thought of antiquity as an avenue to the better comprehension of modern problems, was in point of time the first of the great educational revivals of the nineteenth century.
		Formal stately "classicism" might well receive the homage of courtiers accustomed to the palace of a Louis XIV; but men who had not learned to suppress their feelings at the demand of etiquette still felt it to be true that mentem mortalia tangutat.
		It is a masterly harmonisation of Catholicism and contemporary Oxonianism, and it remains the out-standing and classic exposition of the latter.

	The Rise, Decline, And Reemergence Of Classical Liberalism (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		The phrase "the rise of classical liberalism" does not mean that a consistent and unified set of beliefs emerged intact in the late 17th century from the mind of John Locke.
		Dates presented for movements address the times in which heavy publication or activity took place, and do not imply that the influence of these movements ceased at a particular point; in all instances I have attempted to justify the movements' dates, but I recognize these are tools of expediency rather than demonstrable facts.
		In retrospect, we may see the rise of classical liberalism as a thread of individuals and movements revealing both a continuity of ideas and a continual growth, as thinkers refined and added to the basic principles of the thought.

	Where_Stress_Falls
		For the poet to turn to prose, says Brodsky, is always a falling off, "like the shift from full gallop to a trot." The contrast is not just one of velocity, of course, but one of mass: lyric poetry's compactness versus the sheer extendedness of prose.
		Precisely as prose, since Flaubert, has aspired to some of the intensity, velocity, and lexical inevitability of poetry, there seems a greater need to shore up the two-party system in literature, to distinguish prose from poetry, and to oppose them.
		Prose is not just a ghostly category, a state of language defined negatively, by its opposite: poetry.

	Prose Style Writing Guide
		Classic style is also an incomparably effective style for American students to learn, because classic style is associated in America with intelligence and distinction, even though classic writing does not draw attention to itself or appear to be trying to promote the writer.
		The classic stylist wants nothing from the reader; there is no task at hand; prose is perfect performance; writer and reader are intellectual and aesthetic equals; writer and reader are competent; thought and language match; the motive is truth; the purpose is presentation.
		In the classic stand, the writer is using the phrase not because it is rare or decorative or learned and not to draw attention to either the writer or the prose, but simply because it is the right phrase.

	Where the Stress Falls, by Susan Sontag
		Prose is to Poetry, said Valéry, as walking is to dancing -- Romantic assumptions about poetry's inherent superiority hardly being confined to the great Russian poets.
		In other words, the distinctive genius of poetry is naming, that of prose, to show movement, process, time -- past, present, and future.) The collected prose of any major poet who has written major prose -- Valéry, Rilke, Brecht, Mandelstam, Tsvetaeva -- is far bulkier than his or her collected poems.
		But the bifurcation of standards for prose in succeeding literary generations -- the emergence of a minority tradition of "art" prose, the ascendancy of illiterate and para-literate prose -- has made that kind of accomplishment far more anomalous.

	Humanism
		Sophisticated classical scholars were hired to write official correspondence and propaganda; to create an image of the popes as powerful, enlightened, modern rulers of the Church; and to apply their scholarly tools to the church's needs, including writing a more classical form of the Mass.
		Classical scholarship, in the end, could not reform the Church which it both supported and challenged.
		In the High Renaissance, Rome was the center of the literary movement known as "Ciceronianism" that aimed to standardize Latin diction by modelling all prose on the writings of Cicero.

		Another possible reason why the German classical movement came so late after the French, I believe, is that our literary movement was in part a response to the French movement.
		While the French were emphasizing alien rationalism, the Germans, in their classical theory, went on to write works that dealt more with natural forces and a German national identity.
		While the French people during their classical period were united under one ruler, the German nation was a patchwork of principalities and nation-states.

	Liu Zongyuan
		Ancient Prose Movement, Liu Zongyuan wanted to reinvigorate poetry of his day by recalling his classical masters and their nonpareil essays.
		In many respects, Liu Zongyuan’s desires resonate with the Modernist movement, where poets followed classical models and rallied around the dictum that “poetry should be as well-written as prose”.
		James J. Liu’s terms for the two sides of this split are “naturalization” and “barbarization”, or in other words, whether the translation uses its language to challenge or accommodate to the tradition of poetry in that language.

	TheCriticalPoet - Featured Movement - The Romantic Movement
		The Romantic Movement spans roughly 1789 to 1824.
		This period was marked by a rejection of the ideals and rules of classicism and neoclassicism and by an affirmation of the need for a freer, more subjective expression of passion, pathos and personal feelings.
		Another view is that it was a kind of renaissance, a rediscovery, a wholly beneficial upheaval, and a much needed rejection of defunct standards and beliefs which resulted in a creative freedom of mind and spirit.
