Excerpt from Picture Study
Britain has found her most artistic expression in the field of literature. When, during the Tudor Period, English scholars journeyed to Italy in search of the New Learning, it is said that they were but little impressed with the wonderful work of the Italian artists. But they were filled with enthusiasm for the literature of Greece and Rome, and on returning to their native land they inspired the splendid literary productions of the Elizabethan Age.
