Summary form only given. The dynamics of a medium consisting of a dense collection of two-level atoms interacting via the electromagnetic field has been derived from first principles. In dense media and condensed matter, the microscopic local field that couples with a single atom is related to the macroscopic field and volume propagation by the Lorentz-Lorenz relation written for an isotropic homogeneous medium. The dynamical equations for the medium, coupled self-consistently with the Maxwell inhomogeneous wave equation, are given in the rotating wave and dipole coupling approximations. The microscopic development is used within the framework of full quantization, and the explicit effects of spontaneous relaxation for the host as well as the atoms are treated, together with corresponding fluctuations. Particular effects upon intrinsic adiabatic inversion, self-induced transparency, and lasing without inversion, are presented and discussed. In particular, the equilibrium, stationary, and dynamical effects of the host medium, and medium and field fluctuations upon local field effects are discussed.
