	The Norton Anthology of English Literature: The 20th Century: Introduction
		Almost every introduction to a work of history seems to define its period as "a time of great change." In a sense, that claim is more true of the twentieth than of any other century, yet most of the changes that define our sense of the character of this period were initiated before it began.
		Perhaps the speed of change is this century's defining characteristic, in particular the speed with which technology has been developed to improve the quality of life and to end it.
		Nineteenth-century fin de siècle produced decadent and aesthetic art; the close of the twentieth century, with the additional anxieties consonant with the end of a millennium, generated more extremes forms of writing that tested the limits of traditional forms almost to destruction.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Latin Literature in Christianity (Sixth To Twentieth Century)
		During the Middle Ages the so-called church Latin was to a great extent the language of poetry, and it was only on the advent of the Renaissance that classical Latin revived and flourished in the writings of the neo-Latinists as it does even today though to a more modest extent.
		From the beginning of the sixteenth century the Catholic humanist, Vida, had been engaged among other works on the composition of odes, elegies, and hymns: he belonged to the poetae urbani of the Medici period of Leo X, many of whom wrote lyrical, in addition to their epical, pieces.
		In the twelfth century this "animal" epic received an extension probably from Magister Nivardus of Flanders under the title "Ysengrimus" or "Renardus vulpes": from the poem thus extended an extract was made later and this is the last product of the animal" epic in the thirteenth century.

	Talkin' Broadway Review: Twentieth Century
		Twentieth Century by Ben Hecht and Charles MacArthur.
		As most of the play's story (set on the Twentieth Century Limited train) is driven by Oscar's desperate attempts to win Lily for his next stage venture or face total financial ruin, Baldwin's choice to depict Oscar as alternately annoyed and constipated is an odd and ineffective one.
		There's never an indication that these are two artists only capable of doing their best under the violent emotions the other amplifies; if the script didn't insist they had a prior relationship, there would be no reason to believe it.

		Fortunately, at any level of detail, the 20th century is a fascinating saga, and Roberts brings wit as well as a gift for summary to the task.
		It is deliberately Euro-centric since the century began with Europe as the central power and ended with Europe closing ranks to form an important political and economic zone that is probably larger than the sum of its individual parts.

		Adapted by Ben Hecht and Charles MacArthur from their Broadway play, Howard Hawks's Twentieth Century (1934) paired John Barrymore and Carole Lombard in a prickly romance that helped usher in the heyday of 1930s screwball comedy.
		"Twentieth Century" (1934) is a brilliant and scathing screwball yarn about a manical Broadway impressario, Oscar Jaffe's (John Barrymore) headstrong attempt to mold a shopgirl, Mildred Plotka (Carole Lombard) into the toast of the Great White Way.
		Often looking quite dirty and riddled with age related artifacts, the comedic sheen of "Twentieth Century" leaves something to be desired.

	Twentieth Century Atlas - Death Tolls
		This is not necessarily a problem if you're just trying to estimate an overall total or trends over time (like, say, the 19th Century versus the 20th Century), but it makes some of his estimates unreliable on a case by case basis.
		One problem with this translation is that it trims many of the calculations for wars before the 20th Century, so we pretty much have to take his pre-1900 estimates as given, without knowing how he arrived at them.
		For example, his assertion that citizens of democracies are far less likely to die at the hands of their own governments is not surprising when we remember that not killing huge numbers of your own people is already included in the definition of democracy.
