  CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: French Literature
Hence the fondness of the literature of the seventeenth century for general ideas and for sentiments that are common to mankind, and its success in those kinds of literature which are based on the general study of the human heart.
Hence the contempt of the seventeenth century literature for all that is relative, individual and mutable; in lyric poetry, which appeals primarily to the individual sentiment, in the description of material phenomena, and the external manifestations of nature, it falls short of success.
For thorough understanding of the development of French literature in the seventeenth century, we must consider it in three periods: (1) from the year 1600 to 1659, the period of preparation; (2) 1659-1688, the Golden Age of classicism; (3) 1688-1715, the period of transition between the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.

 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.

All branches of the literature of art were cultivated in antiquity although, of course, only a fragment of this body of writing has survived.

 Consulate General of Brazil - Literature
Important literary movements during the National Period can be linked to the country's political and social development: The Romantic Movement in literature coincided roughly with the 57 years of the Empire; the Parnassians and the Realists flourished during the early decades of the Republic, followed, around the turn of the century, by the Symbolists.
In the 20th century, the ascendance of the Vanguardist or Modernist Movement, with ideas of an avant-garde aestheticism, was celebrated during the famous São Paulo Week of Modern Art in 1922.
Following Brazil's independence from Portugal, Romantic literature expanded to exalt the uniqueness of Brazil's tropics and its Indians, concern for the African slaves, and to descriptions of urban activities.

This unique anthology is the first compilation of American literature to collect works written in the United States from 1696 to 1994 in languages other than English and present them on the verso pages with English translations on the recto.
As pointed out in the introduction by coeditor Sollors (English literature and Afro-American studies, Harvard), multilingual texts were common in older anthologies but have disappeared in more contemporary collections.
As is usual with such efforts, not every work selected is worthwhile: of the 31 pieces chosen by the two editors and 32 contributors, roughly half are of excellent quality.

 Teaching Early American Writings: Colonial-Spanish   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
What both the ALA session and the EARAM-L discussion indicate is that teachers of early American literature need some way to get beyond the anthology, even the best of anthologies, in order to fully incorporate colonial Spanish works about North America into their courses.
The second point to keep in mind when approaching colonial Spanish North American literature -- and all literatures from outside the canonical British American literary tradition -- is that by exploring these materials, both teachers and students come to a better understanding of American literature in general.
American literature should no longer be taught as mainly a branch of British literature with influences from other cultures occurring primarily during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.

 IPL Online Literary Criticism Collection
"Imoinda, the "beautiful fl Venus" of Aphra Behn's Oroonoko (1688), is one of few representations of dark-skinned women in early modern literature.
Thomas Southerne's 1696 dramatization of Behn's novella is, in its turn, probably best-known for changing the skin color of its Imoinda from fl to white.
As her racial and sexual identity are reconstructed in whiteness, Behn's fl Imoinda becomes an early example of the enforced invisibility of the fl female subject in the Americas' dominant cultural discourse.
