French Literature - LoveToKnow Watches (16388 words) |
 | The other, one of the most remarkable developments of sportive literature which the world has seen, produced the second indigenous literary growth of which France can boast, namely, the fabliaux, and the almost more remarkable work which is an immense conglomerate' of fabliaux, the great beast-epic of the Roman de Renart. |
| Side by side with these two forms of literature, the epics and romances of the higher classes, and the fabliau, which, at least in its original, represented rather the feelings of the lower, there grew up a third kind, consisting of purely lyrical poetry. |
| With these, some of which date from the 12th century, may be contrasted, at the other end of the medieval period, the more varied and popular collection dating in their present form from the 15th century, and published in 1875 by M. Gaston Paris. |
| 1421 hypothesis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (1504 words) |
| The 1421 hypothesis of Chinese contact with the Americas originates from former British Royal Navy submarine commander Gavin Menzies. |
| The 1421 hypothesis is based on documents of debatable provenance (the Piri Reis map, the Vinland map) and on original interpretation of accepted documents (Fra Mauro map, de las Casas) and archaeological findings. |
| One key question is why the alleged great voyages of 1421 managed to touch every corner of the world except Europe, where a record of their occurrence would likely have been made and maintained. |
