| | Poetry - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Poetry was employed as a means of recording oral history, storytelling (epic poetry), genealogy, and law. | | | Prose poetry combines the characteristics of poetry with the superficial appearance of prose. | | | Robinson Jeffers, Marianne Moore, and William Carlos Williams were three notable poets who rejected the idea that meter was a critical element of poetry, claiming it was an unnatural imposition into poetry. |

| | Rule Britannia? History Painting in 18th-Century Britain - Questia Online Library |
| | Some years earlier, James Ralph, a prominent writer for the political opposition and would-be historian, raised the question of why English artists rarely ventured beyond portraiture to history painting in an essay published in the Weekly Register: `Sir James... | | | The dearth of history painting is one of the most remarkable aspects of any survey of British painting between the seventeenth and nineteenth centuries and yet art historians have devoted little attention to this phenomenon. | | | Of course, history paintings have almost always been difficult to sell - a form of commercial suicide for both artist and picture dealer alike - and we have only to glance at some past commentaries for confirmation. |

| | The word underground is used because there is a history of resistance movements under harsh regimes where the term underground was employed to refer to the necessary secrecy of the resisters. | | | These 1960s and 1970s underground cultural movements had some connections to the "beat generation" which had, in turn, been inspired by the philosphers, artists and poets of the Paris Existentialist movement which gathered around Jean-Paul Sartre and Albert Camus in the years after World War II. | | | Applied to the arts, the term underground typically means artists that are not corporately sponsored and generally do not want to be. |

| | Ockhams Razor - 5/05/2002: Its the spelling thats stupid - not me |
| | How words are written fascinates me, the history of spelling is fascinating, how for 200 years English spelling has been used as a quick screening test to keep out the vulgar mob, brand those who cannot cope with our bad spelling as bad spellers, and make good spellers feel they are virtuous. | | | In brief, the English cant improve their spelling because their tradition for a spelling reform was set in the 19th century and it headed in the wrong direction, considering only phonetics, the relation of letters to speech sounds. | | | English has to be learnt as two languages, the spoken and the written; you cant learn one from the other. |

| | Finally, in the history of art the r=93le of illuminated manuscripts was considerable; by treating in their works scenes of sacred history the manuscript painters inspired other artists, painters, sculptors, goldsmiths, ivory workers, etc.; it is especially in miniature that the ebb and flow of artistic styles during the Middle Ages may be detected. | | | Scandinavian influences appear in Russian manuscripts (monsters and interlacings of initials); and one of the most remarkable monuments of Slavic miniature painting is the Servian Psalter of Munich, in which the paintings are executed by an impressionistic artist, who uses contrasting colours instead of pen designs. | | | This is the famous manuscript of St. Gatien at Tours, stolen by Libri about 1846, and returned to the Paris Bibliothèque Nationale in 1888, after having figured in the Ashburnham collection. |
