In all dialects of Kurmânji, Gurâni now simply means "lyric poetry" or "balladry." This vernacular, along with its dialect Awrâmani/Hewrâmi, was in fact until early modern times the language of polite society and belles lettres in most of Kurdistan, irrespective of the dominant spoken local dialect.
But also, it is only in the past two centuries that South Kurmânji has spread to occupy the crucial areas of central and eastern Kurdistan at the expense of Gurâni, thus gaining a large number of speakers and hence the potential and the status required for a literary language.
A number of better-known pieces of Kurdish literature also appeared in that country, but these were often targeted as propaganda pieces to attract Kurds from beyond the Soviet borders, rather than having been written just to benefit the small, widely dispersed population of Soviet Kurds.

 Romania Mission - About Romania
The literary works configuring a first stage in the evolution of the Romanian modern literature belong to a generation of writers in the fifth decade of the last century, during a historical epoch marked by social and political changes determined by the 1848 revolution.
In the 20th century, until the setting up of communism, after the coup d'etat in August 1944, the Romanian literature had known an ascending evolution, the top of evolution was the brilliant generation of inter-war writers: M.Sadoveanu (1880-1961), L.Rebreanu (1885-1944), Lucian Blaga (1859-1961), Camil Petrescu (1894-1957).
After December 1989, the main line of the Romanian literature has been represented by the effort to bring before the young generation the names and the works of writers of the Romanian emigration, who had been forbidden during the communist regime.

 The English Department @ Elizabethtown College
Your reactions to the literature are important, for no matter how spon-taneous, sudden, or unusual they might seem, they (the reactions) are based upon the text's words, the word order, and most importantly your experiences up to the moment that you read the work, especially your present physical and mental environment.
All discussions of literature are ultimately reducible to diction (choice of words), syntax (word order), and all the critic has experienced up to the moment of reading the text (the only variable in the tripart constellation).
Literature is not only as important as life; it can be life itself with very little effort.

It should also be noted that Hobbes both inherits and proliferates many of the standard divisions of mental function from his period -Namely, Fancy, Imagination -including a subsequent two part sub-division, Reason, Understanding and Will- although his use of these terms is quite different than many other mainstream authors.
Also of interest to scholars of Cultural Studies and literature in particular is Hobbes' treatment of language.
Hobbes devotes an entire chapter to language and its right usage, during which he espouses an interesting model of the function of language in political society (Chapter 4) -one in which metaphorical language is specifically derided.

In Tractatus theologico-politicus (1677), Baruch Spinoza, the Jewish philosopher, recognized as one of the founders of modern biblical criticism, reached a conclusion much like that of Du Maes, that Ezra compiled Genesis to II Kings from documents of varying dates.
The so-called "documents" should not be considered as mutually exclusive writings, completely independent of one another, but rather as a continual stream of literature representing a pattern of progressive interpretation of traditions and history.
