| | English literature - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The term English literature refers to literature written in the English language, including literature composed in English by writers not necessarily from England; Joseph Conrad was Polish, Robert Burns was Scottish, James Joyce was Irish, Edgar Allan Poe was American, Salman Rushdie is Indian. | | | Eliot, the preeminent English poet of the period. | | | But the first written literature dates to the early Christian monasteries founded by St. Augustine of Canterbury and his disciples and it is reasonable to believe that it was somehow adapted to suit to needs of Christian readers. |

| | English literature - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about English literature |
| | English Literature was revivified and popularized in a surprisingly short space of time, in the 16th century, as the Renaissance gave writers both ‘new’ models (based on Greek and Roman literature) and renewed confidence that English was a medium capable of producing great works. | | | The development of English literature from Old English literature to the present day can be traced through several different literary periods identifiable by their artistic theory, methods, and concerns. | | | Because, for the most part, the ability to record literature was possessed by the church, much secular Old and Middle English literature is likely to have been lost. |

| | Literature - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Literature is literally "acquaintance with letters" as in the first sense given in the Oxford English Dictionary (from the Latin littera meaning "an individual written character (letter)"). | | | Perhaps the most paradigmatic style of English poetry, blank verse, as exemplified in works by Shakespeare and by Milton, consists of unrhymed iambic pentameters. | | | Consequently, a novel by Danielle Steele will be included in "literature" but not in "Literature", since most people would not deem the books to be sufficiently intellectual or meaningful. |

| | English Literature, literature produced in England, from the introduction of Old English by the Anglo-Saxons in the 5th century to the present. | | | The works of those Irish and Scottish authors who are closely identified with English life and letters are also considered part of English literature. | | | This was a significant work of largely Platonic philosophy easily adaptable to Christian thought, and it has had great influence on English literature. |

| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: English Literature |
| | It is the custom of historians of literature to divide the literary life of Chaucer into a French, an Italian, and an English period, according as his work was influenced by the manner of each national literature. | | | Old English literature was practically unknown to him, but he was saturated with French poetry, for the literature of France was then, outside the classics, the most influential in Europe. | | | Chaucer's work marks the full flowering of English literature in the Middle Ages, and it was he who first raised English poetry to a European position. |
