		Some of these early works reached the level of literature, as in the robust and perhaps truthful account of his adventures by Captain John Smith and the sober, tendentious journalistic histories of John Winthrop and William Bradford in New England.

		The Golden Age of Dutch literature was coexistent with the establishment of the republic and a period of great commercial prosperity.
		After World War I, a reaction to the overintellectualized literature of the early 1900s was led by Hendrik Marsman (1899–1940), who championed the cause of “vitalism,” a form of expressionism, based on the concept that the poet is merely a member of, and speaks for, the masses.
		By the end of the war, the younger generation of writers had rejected many of the theories of their predecessors; and postwar Dutch literature reflected the disillusionment brought on by the atomic age, the new welfare state, and the cold war.

	Edward A. Abramson, The Immigrant Experience in American Literature (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		Literature can be used, and has been magnificently used by Americans, in the service of history, of science, of religion, or of political propaganda.
		In much literature written by Europeans as well as in that of their American descendants, there is a wealth of writing about the immigrant experience.

		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.

	John Felstiner co-edits anthology on Jewish American literature, translates poems and prose of Paul Celan : 2/01
		The questions in the passage also point to the Jewish identity of the diarist and artist, whose works went on to animate the blood and flesh of their ideas long after their lives were extinguished.
		One of the most gratifying aspects of the project, he said, was the "very steep and exciting learning curve." While he has taught a course on literature of the Holocaust since 1977, his area of expertise is literary translation and modern American and European poetry and literature.
		Uninitiated readers of Jewish American literature -- those whose grasp of the tradition may be limited to Woody Allen and Allen Ginsberg (both authors' work is represented in the volume) -- probably will be surprised by the "variety" and "buoyancy" of the writing in the anthology, Felstiner said.
