Perhaps the most important task of all would be to undertake studies in contemporary alternatives to 0rientalism, to ask how one can study other cultures and peoples from a libertarian, or a non-repressive and non-manipulative perspective.

At the age of 18, he married Anne Hathaway, who bore him three children: Susanna, and twins Hamnet and Judith. Between 1585 and 1592, he began a successful career in London as an actor, writer, and part owner of a playing company called the Lord Chamberlain's Men, later known as the King's Men. English Literature, literature produced in England, from the introduction of Old'English by the Anglo-Saxons in the 5th century to the present. The works of those Irish and Scottish authors who are closely identified with English life and letters are also considered part of English literature. This period extends from about 450 to 1066, the year of the Norman French conquest of England. The Germanic tribes from Europe who overran England in the 5th century, after the Roman withdrawal, brought with them the Old English, or Anglo-Saxon, language, which is the basis of Modern English. They brought also a specific poetic tradition, the formal character of which remained surprisingly constant until the termination of their rule by the Norman French invaders six centuries later.
