	African Literature - MSN Encarta
		Early literature across Africa was meant for ceremonial and ritual use and was either commemorative in function, or a record of histories, peoples, and events.
		The literature produced was either for private amusement or limited circulation, much of it first appearing in magazines, and consists largely of verse and short fiction.
		Although this literature was never written with the intention of reaching a mass audience, its impact was considerable in that it provided models for later authors of writing about social and cultural preoccupations of Africans.

	American Literature: Prose - MSN Encarta
		American Literature: Prose, fiction and nonfiction of the American colonies and the United States, written in the English language from about 1600 to the present.
		Native American literatures, which were largely oral at the time of colonial settlement, stand apart as a separate tradition that is itself strong and varied.
		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.

	The Enlightenment or Age of Reason: 1700s/Eighteenth Century – Europe and America
		The Enlightenment, also known as the Age of Reason, is the name given to the period in Europe and America during the 1700s when mankind was emerging from centuries of ignorance into a new age enlightened by reason, science, and respect for humanity.
		Most literature was nonfiction, which means it was based on fact rather than being made up by the author's imagination.
		Science is neutral and objective; scientists, those who produce scientific knowledge through their unbiased rational capacities, must be free to follow the laws of reason, and not be motivated by other concerns (such as money or power).

	British Ephemeral Literature Criticism and Essays (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Ephemeral literature refers to published writing not intended to have any lasting significance; rather, such works were produced to address topical issues, narrow interests, or particular needs.
		This ephemeral or “street” literature offers some of the greatest insights into the culture and mindset of middle- and lower-class English people in the sixteenth, seventeenth, and eighteenth centuries, insights that are not available in the works of gentleman-poets and landed nobility of the same period.
		The styles and types of British ephemeral literature are not limited to broadside ballads and chapbooks, although those seem to have been the two most popular forms between the early 1500s and 1800.

	American Literature: Drama - MSN Encarta
		The play itself is indistinguishable from imitations of the works of English dramatist William Shakespeare that abounded in Britain in the late 1700s and early 1800s.
		A masterful element of the play is the Yankee character Jonathan, whose honest innocence stands in stark contrast to the rumor-mongering and gossiping of the play’s British characters and the American characters who emulate them.
		The 1700s also saw the first American play written by a woman reach the professional stage.

	Outline of American Literature - Chapter I
		Indian oral tradition and its relation to American literature as a whole is one of the richest and least explored topics in American studies.
		The early literature of exploration, made up of diaries, letters, travel journals, ships' logs, and reports to the explorers' financial backers -- European rulers or, in mercantile England and Holland, joint stock companies -- gradually was supplanted by records of the settled colonies.
		As American minority literature continues to flower in the 20th century and American life becomes increasingly multicultural, scholars are rediscovering the importance of the continent's mixed ethnic heritage.

	Literature
		African-American literature reflects the characteristics and heritage that form the cultural underpinnings of the modern fl community in the United States.
		In the 1700s, the United States was settled by strong, independent men and women, who had to make their own way with limited help from the government.
		Although Latino literature is heterogeneous, there are important themes you will encounter repeatedly, for example, the intermixing of languages; multi-ethnic heritages; poverty; agriculture-based communities; and the maintaining of cultural identity across geographical borders.

	Binghamton Unversity Bulletin - English General Literature, and Rhetoric
		Although English and American literature and the practice of creative and expository writing are primary, the department conceives of neither literature nor writing in a narrow or parochial way.
		Literature courses deal broadly with genres and themes from the past and present, and teach students how to read and analyze texts; creative writing courses foster, in qualified students, the development of serious creativity; rhetoric courses deal with both the theory and practice of communication as well as the history of oral and written argument.
		Courses in literature, rhetoric, and creative writing numbered 100-149 are entry-level, intended mainly for freshmen; courses numbered 150-299 are open to second-semester freshmen or above; courses numbered 300-499 are open only to juniors, seniors, or those who have previously taken three courses in literature.

		Indian literature is influential, particularly in Old Javanese writings, which date from about ad 1000.
		Modern Javanese literature dates from the early 1700s and combines native, Indian, and Muslim traditions.

	Law and Economics Cases
		Both of these specialties possess (IMHO) a rather naive view of the provincial and rudimentary state of American institutions in the 1700s, that is completely at odds with the current state of the literature on early America.
		Certainly, by the end of the 1700s a trained legal sector had emerged that earned its keep dealing with debt collection and land disputes, but the citizenry still considered law and the government (and economics) to consist of far more than this single component.
		As it happens, much of the literature on these issues stems from the older school of institutional economics -- nothing wrong with that, but you need to keep a lookout on the inherent contradictions between some of the assumptions in that literature, and assumptions in the current literature today.

		The position of Mari culture and Mari literature may be an indicator of the situation in the society as a whole.

	History of modern literature Summary
		The romantic movement was well under way and along with it developed the splintering of fiction writing into genres and the rise of speculative fiction.
		When the Nineteenth century ended the genres of horror, ghost stories, westerns, children's literature, crime fiction, science fiction, historical novels and fantasy had all been established.
		Bertholt Brecht created modernist theatrical productions according to his theory of the alienation effect which was supposed to make the audience think and feel in new and critical ways by removing comfortable assumptions and not permitting the narrative to appear too much like reality.

	Defining Young Adult Literature
		With the rise in literacy that accompanied the development of mechanical printing and the spread of trade (which required written records and communications), the audience for writing began to be differentiated.
		The historical distinction between adult literature and “children’s literature” is thus at most three centuries old.
		A better distinction might be that YA literature (what we might call “true” YA literature) is that which addresses the particular issues of adolescence, and which usually features adolescent protagonists.
