	American Literature: Prose - Search View - MSN Encarta
		Legends, folktales, and other forms of literature were preserved in oral form and passed down from one generation to the next through ceremonies and other community gatherings, as well as within family groups and other informal settings.
		American literature at the beginning of the 21st century is exceptionally diverse, with rapidly growing multicultural influences.
		As the literature of the new century takes shape, American authors as a group still share common ground in responding to the important issues of their country and the world at large.

	In Defense of Literature by Florence Dee Boodakian, PhD 8/97 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Literature and language departments across the country are shrinking, disappearing or being transformed into "cultural studies" departments in answer to socio-political and economic restraints.
		Literature departments now rely heavily upon part-time faculty to teach a great percentage of the courses (over 55 percent in many cases and as high as 80 percent in some) at very low salaries, often with no benefits.
		For the students of literature, this means an opportunity to take a course, a seat to sit on while in class, attention from the professor both inside and outside the classroom if necessary, and equal access to all facilities and programs.

	SUPERNATURAL HORROR IN LITERATURE (1927, 1933 - 1935) by H.P. Lovecraft
		Touches of this transcendental fear are seen in classic literature, and there is evidence of its still greater emphasis in a ballad literature which paralleled the classic stream but vanished for lack of a written medium.
		Yet such was the thirst of the age for those touches of strangeness and spectral antiquity which it reflects, that it was seriously received by the soundest readers and raised in spite of its intrinsic ineptness to a pedestal of lofty importance in literary history.
		A very flourishing, though till recently quite hidden, branch of weird literature is that of the Jews, kept alive and nourished in obscurity by the sombre heritage of early Eastern magic, apocalyptic literature, and cabbalism.

	The Salem Witchcraft Hysteria of 1692 and "Young Goodman Brown"
		According to his descendant [Nathaniel], John Hathorne "inherited the persecuting spirit, and made himself so conspicuous in the martyrdom of the witches, that their blood may fairly be said to have left a stain upon him.
		The origins of the belief in witchcraft and "specters" went back to Europe, where, by some estimates, five hundred thousand people were executed for witchcraft between the fifteenth and seventeenth centuries.
		Prior to the Salem outbreak of 1692, almost three hundred people had been accused of witchcraft in New England; more than thirty had been hanged ("witches" were not burned in England or the American colonies).

	Early American Literature
		Through the literatures and documents we do have, we can use critical readings skills to understand the investments of the author in a certain "reality" and to infer the possible experiences of the "others" the author mentions.
		Embedded in those ideologies and their literatures are the roots of the inequality and injustice our country still suffers from.
		In developing this curriculum for American Literature before 1700, I have sought to include the literatures that will help students gain insight into the men who professed the Puritan ideal, how their application of that ideal affected the people who weren't included among the Elect, and the writings of those who departed from that ideal.
