The Italian Renaissance was the earliest manifestation of the general European Renaissance, a period of great cultural change and achievement that began in Italy during the 14th century and lasted until the 16th century, marking the transition between Medieval and Early Modern Europe. The term Renaissance is in essence a modern one that came into currency in the 19th century, in the work of historians such as Jules Michelet and Jacob Burckhardt. Although the origins of a movement that was confined largely to the literate culture of intellectual endeavor and patronage can be traced to the earlier part of the 14th century, many aspects of Italian culture and society remained largely Medieval; the Renaissance did not come into full swing until the end of the century. The word renaissance (Rinascimento in Italian) means "rebirth" in French, and the era is best known for the renewed interest in the culture of classical antiquity after the period that Renaissance humanists labeled the Dark Ages. These changes, while significant, were concentrated in the elite, and for the vast majority of the population life was little changed from the Middle Ages. [mehr]

Many Pens Have Been Burnished This Year Of Grace For The Purpose Of Celebrating With Befitting Honour The Second Centenary Of The Birth Of Henry Fielding; But It Is More Than Doubtful If, When The Right Date Occurs In March 1921, Anything Like The Same Alacrity Will Be Shown To Commemorate One Who Was For Many Years, And By Such Judges As Scott, Hazlitt, And Charles Dickens, Considered Fielding's Complement And Absolute Co-Equal (To Say The Least) In Literary Achievement. Smollett's Fame, Indeed, Seems To Have Fallen Upon An Unprosperous Curve. The Coarseness Of His Fortunate Rival Is Condoned, While His Is Condemned Without Appeal. Smollett's Value Is Assessed Without Discrimination At That Of His Least Worthy Productions, And The Historical Value Of His Work As A Prime Modeller Of All Kinds Of New Literary Material Is Overlooked.

John Addington Symonds (5 October 1840 – 19 April 1893) was an English poet and literary critic. Although he married and had a family, he was an early advocate of male love (homosexuality), which he believed could include pederastic as well as egalitarian relationships. He referred to it as l'amour de l'impossible (love of the impossible). A cultural historian, he was known for his work on the Renaissance, as well as numerous biographies about writers and artists. He also wrote much poetry inspired by his homosexual affairs. [mehr]
