	Dutch literature - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Just as English literature is not restricted to England alone, Dutch-language authors do not necessarily have to be from the Netherlands, as Dutch literature is or was also produced in other (formerly) Dutch-speaking regions, such as Belgium, Suriname, the Netherlands Antilles, French Flanders and the former Dutch East Indies (present-day Indonesia).
		Unlike English literature, where the Augustan period and the Age of Enlightenment sustained the high level of the Jacobean age, eighteenth-century Dutch literature mainly saw tame, formalistic, ever-diminishing returns of Golden Age themes and forms.
		It had little influence in literature, and in the new state of Belgium, the status of the Dutch language remained largely unchanged as all governmental and educational affairs were conducted in French.

	Overview of Scottish Literature (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		A major achievement of Scottish literature is in the narrative and generally dramatic poem, the "folk ballad." These poems are so called because they are thought to have arisen from popular songs and to have been passed down through oral transmissions, sometimes over centuries.
		Eighteenth century Scottish literature to a major degree reflects this neo-classical attitude, as in the satires of Fergusson, Arbuthnot and Smollett, or the thoroughly rational prescription for "health" by John Armstrong.
		But for the most part Scottish literature was notable, even notorious, for its love of the other states: the heroic past, the "Celtic twilight," the world of children, the ideal world, and at their least literary level, melodrama.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Polish Literature
		At this period, too, the Jesuit Skarga, the purest embodiment of Polish patriotism in literature, preached and wrote, calling upon all Poles to save their country, though that country was then so powerful that his cry of alarm was like the voice of a prophet.
		During this period, the general course of literature was very like that of the preceding epoch, but more strongly marked with patriotic sadness as became a generation imbued with the constitutional ideas of the Four Years' Diet, but grown up under the shadow of a great catastrophe.
		Poles had come to be ignorant of any other literature, and the pseudo-classic taste of the time, together with the glamour of Napoleon's victories, had an excessive influence upon both literature and politics, upon language and social life.

		As Shapiro's remarks imply, Appalachians have had to struggle mightily to define themselves and their place in the face of consistently applied and shifting definitions often imposed by external forces and cultures.
		Similarly, the literature created by Appalachia's people--its novelists, poets, short story writers, dramatists, folksingers, popular singers and storytellers, its riddlers and jokester--has had to struggle for a permanent and recognized place in the American literary tradition.
		Emphasis is placed on Appalachian literature both as an expression or representation of a distinct (if varied) American subculture and as a vital part of broader literary and cultural traditions: Southern, American, British, Western, World.
