	Western (genre) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Westerns are art works – films, literature, sculpture, television and radio shows, and paintings – devoted to telling stories set in the American West, often portraying it in a romanticized light.
		Westerns, by definition, are set in the American West, almost always in the 19th century, generally between the Antebellum period and the turn of the century.
		Western fiction got its start in the "penny dreadfuls" and later the "dime novels" that first began to be published in the mid-nineteenth century.

	Western culture - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The origins of Western Culture are often cited as ancient Greece, the Roman Empire, and Catholic and Protestant Christianity, and as such, some describe it as "Judeo-Christian culture."

		Renaissance Western culture was spread to the New World and beyond in the 1500s by explorers, colonists, traders, and missionaries.
		The eradication of that ancient scourge, smallpox, was led by a Westerner, Donald Henderson.

		But western literature, like American literature, is here to stay, and western literary studies must face similar problems of acceptance, in addition to coming to terms with the special handicap created by the popular western.
		I do not know when the first course on western literature was taught, but scattered evidence suggests that the growth of the number of such courses probably matched for some time the growth of western literary studies, since many of the books on western literature may have been revised versions of class lectures.
		Western history courses probably also led to the establishment of courses on western literature, since the history courses stimulated an interest in the literature of the West.

	Children's Literature
		Those who regard oral and written literature as having equal values might argue that this was achieved because the African child despite being introduced to western literature was at the same time still listening to stories and proverbs at home.

		Its fundamental text – the Bible – was indispensable to the emergence of a modern literature that began to push the boundaries of realism and allow authors to explore the dynamic historical forces related to the processes of everyday life.
		The entire point of most ancient literature is to ethically instruct or to entertain; it certainly is not designed to put the reader in touch with his or reality.

		Described as a reference guide highlighting 1500 passages from over 600 texts (virtually all available in English), this volume is compiled from Posen’s lifetime of reading with an eye toward literary portraits of physicians.
		This is not an anthology, for excerpts from literature frequently run but a sentence or two and serve Posen’s points rather than those of cited texts’ authors.
		Nor is it an annotated bibliography of literature depicting doctors, or even the index that the author suggests medical scholars need, for references are embedded in Posen’s assertions and one must go to endnotes for full information.
