| | Textual criticism was applied during the Renaissance to salvage the classical texts of Greece and Rome, and modern works have been studied, for instance, to undo deliberate correction or censorship, as in the case of novels by Stephen Crane and Theodore Dreiser. | | | The unities are observed in Pierre Corneille's tragedy Polyeuctes and Jean-Baptiste Racine's Phedre. | | | Unities: (Also known as Three Unities.) Strict rules of dramatic structure, formulated by Italian and French critics of the Renaissance and based loosely on the principles of drama discussed by Aristotle in his Poetics. |

| | Classical literature: The literature of ancient Greece and Rome. | | | Classical unities: The belief of Renaissance critics reading Aristotle's poetics that a well-made plot observes three unities: the action must take place in one day, the action must be limited to a single scene, and the action must stick to one main plot. | | | Elegy: In classical Greece, a poem on any serious theme that was written in a couplet form known as elegiac metre; since the Renaissance, used to refer to a lyric that laments a death. |

| | Writings by Maestro William M. Gaugler |
| | The fencing school at Milan was closed, and all training of military fencing masters delegated to the new school at Rome. | | | Parise was appointed first director of the new military masters school at Rome, and his treatise, Trattato di scherma di spada e sciabola, was published in 1884 by the Ministry of War. | | | Anyone familiar with the history of Italian fencing in the 19th century knows that Italy was, during that time period, divided into two camps on the basis of grip type and system of instruction. |

| | Theodor Mommsen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | History of Rome : Mommsen's most famous work appeared in three volumes between 1854 and 1856, and exposed Roman history up to the end of the Roman republic and the rule of Julius Caesar, whom Mommsen portrayed as a gifted statesman. | | | Christian Matthias Theodor Mommsen ( 30 November 1817 - 1 November 1903) was a German classical scholar and historian, generally regarded as the greatest classicist of the 19th century. | | | His main work was the unfinished History of Rome, but today his most relevant work is perhaps the Corpus Inscriptionum Latinarum, a collection of Roman inscriptions he contributed to for the Berlin Academy. |

| | Rebenich: on Heuss: Theodor Mommsen und das 19. Jahrhundert |
| | Mommsen, A History of Rome under the Emperors. | | | After dealing with Mommsen's intellectual and political formation, his academic teachers, his foundation of the Corpus of Latin Inscriptions and his participation in the 1848 revolution, Heuss painstakingly describes Mommsen's wide-ranging scholarly activities, analyses his productive relations with predecessors and contemporaries in the field of classical studies and emphasizes his achievements and limits. | | | In those days, there was a vivid interest in Mommsen as an active politician who was thought to represent the liberal traditions of the German bourgeoisie and was thus incorporated into the intellectual palladium of the newly founded German democracy. |
