History of Writing

Julius Caesar, Aulus Hirtius wrote Commentarii de Bello Gallico.

The events in Salem, MA, of 1692 offer little significance to the history of literature. The trials are important, however, as a window into myriad social distresses. The powerlessness of young, unmarried women, land disputes, and the theocratic government of the time all came together to create ghastly injustice. Arthur Miller, the playwright of The Crucible, which is about the Salem Witch Trials, considered the events uniquely rooted in basic plot structure; a beginning, middle, and end were self-evident. Other than this insight, no literary value can be vouched for.

It is called Hieroglyphics the individual characters hieroglyphs. The symbols mainly stand for sounds like the Roman letters we use today. It was this discovery along with the Rosetta stone with an identical text in Greek which allowed the Frenchman Jean Francois Champolion (1790-1832) to unlock the mystery.

In oral cultures, the information and the history of any event were subject to change, depending on who was telling the story; thus, the personality or popularity of the story-teller could affect how the events were understood. When writing came along, it provided one official way to tell a story, with an agreed-upon set of facts; whether in a scripture or a legal document, the event was preserved and available to be studied at any time.

Writing also provided something that could be passed on to the next generation in a form that was stable, making it possible for future generations to know exactly what their ancestors thought. In cultures like Mesopotamia, writing helped to bind the culture together in one shared way of telling the story. People who had mastered literacy could read it for themselves, or for those who could not, it could be read to them by public readers.

Charles Dickens's last published novel was Our Mutual Friend. He was working on a murder mystery, The Mystery of Edwin Drood, when he died in 1870. It was intended to be published in 12 monthly installments and the first six were published between April and September 1870. Like many of his other books, Dickens had not yet decided how Edwin Drood would end when he died. Dickens often gave staged dramatic readings of selected scenes from his books, to huge public acclaim. His last reading was in 1870, three months before his death. Friends and family of Dickens--including his doctor--discouraged these readings and believed they contributed to his relatively early death at 58. Charles Dickens started on his last book The Mystery of Edwin Drood in 1869, just before his death in 1870. The book was unfinished and Dickens himself had not decided who the murderer was.

The Egyptians wore death masks because they believed in the afterlife. They believed that the soul only came back to the body if it could recognize it. The death mask was a picture of the person inside the sarcophagus so that the soul would go back to that person in the afterlife.
