Children's literature - Children's literature Children's literature is literature specially for children (not to be confused with literature about children, although there is a quite a large overlap between these two categories). The genre has a long history, although originally it was more for instruction than specifically for entertainment. John Newbery's publication of A Little Pretty Pocket-Book in 1744 marks the beginning of pleasure reading marketed specifically to children. Previous to Newbery, literature for children was intended to instruct the young, though children adopted adult literature that they found diverting. Among the earliest examples found in English of this co-opted adult fiction are Thomas Malory's Morte d'Arthur and the Robin Hood tales. In current publishing, the typical breakdown within the field is - pre-readers, early readers, chapter books, and young.

Literature of the United States - Literature of the United States This article is part of the Culture of the United States series. Cinema Folklore Music Dance Literature Cuisine Poetry Architecture Visual arts The literature of the United States may be considered as belonging to English literature or as a distinct body of literature. Much early American literature is derivative: European forms and styles transferred to new locales. For example, Wieland and other novels by Charles Brockden Brown (1771-1810) are energetic imitations of the Gothic novels then being written in England. Even the well-wrought tales of Washington Irving (1783-1859), notably Rip Van Winkle and The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, seem comfortably European despite their New World settings. Perhaps the first American writer to produce boldly new fiction and poetry was Edgar Allan.
Karl Krumbacher - the universities of Munich and Leipzig, and held the professorship of the middle age and modern Greek language and literature in the former from 1897 to his death. His greatest work is his Geschichte der byzantinischen Literatur von Justinian bis zum Ende des Ostroemischen Reiches (from Justinian to the fall of the Eastern Empire, 1453), a second edition of which was published in 1897, with the collaboration of A. Ehrhard (section on theology) and H Gelzer (general sketch of Byzantine history, AD 395-1453). The value of the work is greatly enhanced by the elaborate bibliographies contained in the body of the work and in a special supplement. Krumbacher also founded the Byzantinische Zeitschrift (1892) and the Byzantinisches Archiv (1898). He travelled extensively and the results of a journey to Greece appeared.
Karl Jaspers - philosophy although his father's experience with the legal system undoubtedly influenced his decision to study law at university. It soon became clear that law was not something Jaspers particularly enjoyed and he switched to studying medicine in 1902. Jaspers graduated from medical school in 1909 and began work at a psychiatric hospital in Heidelberg, where Emil Kraepelin had worked some years earlier. Jaspers became dissatisfied with the way the medical community of the time approached the study of mental illness and set himself the task of improving the psychiatric approach. In 1913 Jaspers was given a temporary post as a psychology teacher at Heidelberg University. The post later became permanent and Jaspers never returned to clinical practice. Contributions to Psychiatry Jaspers dissatisfaction with the popular understanding of mental illness led him.
Knud Johan Victor Rasmussen - a Greenlandic polar explorer and anthropologist. When on his first expedition in 1902-1904, "The Literature Expedition" with Jørgen Brønlund, Harald Moltke and Ludvig Mylius-Erichsen to examine Inuit culture. In 1910 he established the Thule Trading Station at Cape York (Uummannaq), Greenland as a base. He went on several expeditions between 1912-1919, including travelling over the Viscount Melville Sound and crossing the Northwest Passage by dogsled. From 1921-1924 he went on his famous "Great Sledge Journey" to collect and describe Inuit songs and legends. For that effort he gained a post at the University of Copenhagen. He was also patron of the first long polar movie "SOS Iceberg" (regie: Leni Riefenstahl).
J.P. Martin - in Scarborough in the English county of Yorkshire and became a Methodist minister in 1902 before serving as a missionary in South Africa and as an army chaplain in Palestine during the First World War. After the Second World War he lived in the village of Timberscombe in Somerset, where he died in 1966. His Uncle stories were first told to his children before he was persuaded to write them down for a wider audience. When they were first published in the late 1960s and early 1970s they were hailed as modern classics of children's literature, and although their fame has faded considerably since then some of the stories have recently been re-published in the United Kingdom (ISBN 0099438690). The Uncle of the six books in the Uncle series is an.
