How should I finish off a Renaissance literature essay?

Sep 11, 2006 by Girl the jess | Posted in History

It's on the ways that the Renaissance changed literature in many countries in Europe and i need to finish it off now but I'm not sure how.

Overstate sure you reflect upon your thesis sentence in your introduction, so the whole thing is wrapped up.

Maybe you could also expound on how it influenced today lit. (where might we be without this transfer?) or how today's culture influences present day lit....... You know the whole art imitating life debate. It is a never ending round.

But don't stray from your thesis.
Anyway, Good luck!

What is the appeal of the pastoral setting in renaissance literature...?

Nov 26, 2007 by Naya | Posted in History

What is the beg of the pastoral setting in renaissance literature and what affect has it had on modern artistic experession...any ideas? or at least can you answer the first part of the question

What other home could be more appealing to a Renaissance person? There were only two settings to choose from, pastoral and urban. Renaissance cities were full of filth and disease, so city dwellers (including writers) looked to the countryside as an aesthetically interesting (although impracticable for most) alternative to city life.

What were the characteristics of Northern Renaissance literature?

Feb 23, 2451 by Lunaka [Accio DT] | Posted in History

From what I've deliver assign to, it seems like the works showed a broader perspective on human life and were more secular in spirit than before. It also looks like there was a ascend of vernacular literature...

What I'm wondering is basically if these points were generally true and if there is anything to add.

You can include Sir Thomas More in that as well as some others.

How did the invention of the printing press affect literature during the Italian Renaissance?

Apr 01, 2008 by margaritafelicity | Posted in History

How did the gadget of the printing press affect literature and the spread of ideas during the Italian Renaissance?

Before the printing swarm was invented the only people that could afford any type of book were very rich people (not that there was a ton of literature at this point). The printing press made books more affordable. But even bigger than that was the boom in literature created - before the preponderance of ALL literature had to do with the Roman Catholic church. Monks re-copied entire works - the most popular being the Bible, it would obviously take a very desire time. Not to mention it would have been written in Latin. It wasn't until the printing press and Martin Luther came along that the Bible was out in languages OTHER than Latin.
When other could know the Bible for themselves that is when they started disagreeing with the church (Martin Luther - who translated the first Bible into German, started the Protestant Reformation with his 95 Axiom).

Still at this point, not everyone could read - but those that could were clamoring to read more and write too. The more that was published the more the ideas were spread through the country. I would say that the printing journalists was a big factor in the Italian Renaissance.

Hope that helps - if you need anything else - let me know

How was literature of the Renaissance different from literature written during the Anglo Saxon period?

Nov 01, 2007 by Lisa | Posted in History

Im upsetting to come up with a few ideas if yall could help!..Shakespeares sonnets were in the Renaissance as well as Don Quixote. Then, Beowulf, the Iliad, and Gilgamesh were during the Anglo Saxon space. I was thinking the Anglo saxon period put more of an emphasis on epic heroes? ...Can yall think of anything?

During the Anglo-Saxon time very few people wrote, and those that did were very educated, often clergy, and not into frivolous stuff like Shakespeare wrote. (You write about the Iliad and Gilgamesh, but those belong to other cultures, not ancient England.) Beowulf could be considered from more or less the same culture. Most Anglo-Saxon writings are very vital religious or historic stuff, like the so-called Anglo-Saxon Chronicles, which are very dull historical recordings. There was some rhyme, songs, and myths. I think the original knights of the round table tales started then. There was very little made-up bunkum (the epics were more like received wisdom from older times).

To get the transition, see Chaucer's Canterbury Tales, which are Centre English -- still pretty rigid, very moral, but with a bit of humor slipped in.

By the Renaissance, more people could write, secularism was more developed, and living was easier (by comparison), so a bit of frivolity was welcome. Phantasy flourished.

Hope that gets you started.
