English literature, medieval - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about English literature, medieval In medieval England (12th–15th century), the ascendancy of Norman-French culture in the post-Conquest era, followed by the re-emergence of native English works – by such authors as Chaucer, Langland, and Malory, and numerous anonymous authors, – marked the Middle English period of English literature. Although the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle continued to be written until 1154, with the arrival of a Norman ruling class at the end of the 11th century, the ascendancy of Norman-French in cultural life began, and it was not until the 13th century that English literature regained its strength. Of purely native inspiration was the medieval alliterative poem Piers Plowman (1367–86) by William Langland, and the anonymous Pearl, Patience, and Gawayne and the Grene Knight. encyclopedia.farlex.com /English+literature,+medieval

EAWC Essay: Literature and the Middle Time The French literature of the Middle Ages begins to flourish during this "second," post-Antique, historical period which may have been a period of renaissance and not a middle time at all. The interested student will find here valuable information on the origins of French literature, how the Middle Ages got its name, theological and everyday measurements of time, and the relationships of myth and fiction to genealogy in the founding of aristocratic families and feudal dynasties. In this connection, it is interesting to note that the literature of this period, specifically the literature of the twelfth century, is profoundly concerned with time, its own, of course, as well as the time of the ancients, a history which, in many ways, it sought to reclaim. eawc.evansville.edu /essays/seaman.htm

French literature is considered one of the richest and most varied national literatures, noted especially for its examination of human society and the individual’s place within society.

TWENTIETH CENTURY LITERATURE Finally, Pavle Popovic (1868-1939) undertook extensive historical-comparative research in all domains: folk literature, medieval literature, the literature of Dubrovnik and the new literature. Literature noticeably depended on the general political-ideological changes, which were often sharp and sudden, but which decade after decade lost their strength, and thus the art of literature was able to continue its independent development. He is a well-known historian of Serbian literature, and he captured the fancy of both domestic and foreign critics and readers with a novel strangely written in the form of a dictionary (Dictionary of the Khazars, 1984). suc.suc.org /culture/history/Hist_Serb_Culture/chr/New_Literature.html   (8766 words)

CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Alexis-Paulin Paris In 1853 a chair of medieval literature was created for him in the Collège de France, and for nineteen years he lectured in a most scholarly manner on the origins of the French language, the old French epics or "Chansons de Geste", the novels of the Round Table, and the early French theatre. Medieval literature appealed to him, because he found in it a naive but strong expression of his religious faith. In 1824 he published "Apologie de l'Ecole Romantique", in which he advocated the imitation of Byron and the study of medieval art. www.newadvent.org /cathen/11498a.htm   (422 words)

Deno Geanakoplos - Prologue: the two worlds of Christendom - Literature Creativity in Byzantine literature was relatively rare, except in the sometimes remarkable poetry found in the Byzantine hymnology and the unique eleventh century epic poem, 'Digenes Akritas' (37) Byzantium never produced a Dante, though probably the most learned scholar of the entire medieval world was the ninth century Patriarch Photius. Certainly, in the late medieval period, Byzantine poets translated into their own language French and Italian narratives of love and combat and also, perhaps to an even greater extent, created their own works of this genre, examples being 'Floire and Blanchfleur', 'Lybistros and Rhodamne' and 'Belthandros and Chrysantza'. Apart from a certain influence on western historical writing as revealed through such works as the papal librarian Anastasius' ninth century translation of the Byzantine chronicler Theophanes, the Byzantine influence on western medieval literature was small. www.myriobiblos.gr /texts/english/geanakoplos_twoworlds_4.html   (422 words)
