  FRENCH LITERATURE - LoveToKnow Article on FRENCH LITERATURE
His memoirs, considered merely as literature, show a style well suited to their purport, not, indeed, brilliant or picturesque, but clear, t~se and thoroughly well suited to the expression of the acuteness, observation and common sense of their author.
The branches of literature of which we have just given an account may be fairly connected, from the historical point of view, with work of the same kind that went before as well as with work of the same kind that followed them.
It was not so with the literature of theology, law, politics and erudition, which the 16th century also produced, and with which it for the first time enlarged the range of composition in the vulgar tongue.

 [No title]
Some of the reasons why American literature developed along original lines and thus conveyed a message of its own to the world are to be found in the changed environment and the varying problems and ideals of American life.
The colonial literature of this period was influenced only in a very minor degree by the work of these men, for a generation usually passed before the influence of contemporary English authors appeared in American literature.
The greatest lesson taught by colonial literature, by men like Bradford, Winthrop, Edwards, and the New England clergy in general, is moral heroism, the determination to follow the shining path of the Eternal over the wave and through the forest to a new temple of human liberty.

 Chapter Benjamin Franklin of Index by Simonds History of American Literature
Through the second quarter of the century he lived the quiet life of a thrifty, sagacious man of business, at the same time taking a practical interest in matters of public moment and presenting the most original model of good citizenship that can be found.
His contribution to American literature, the larger portion of which belongs to this earlier period of his career, is not great, but it is noteworthy.
Benjamin Franklin was born in Boston, in 1706, of typical Puritan stock.

 History of Drama
Among its leading examples were She Would if She Could (1668) and The Man of Mode (1676) by Sir George Etherege; The Country Wife (1675) by William Wycherley; The Way of the World (1700) by William Congreve; and The Recruiting Officer (1706) and The Beaux' Stratagem (1707) by George Farquhar.
The Romantics focused on emotion rather than rationality, drew their examples from a study of the real world rather than the ideal, and glorified the idea of the artist as a mad genius unfettered by rules.
Romanticism thus gave rise to a vast array of dramatic literature and production that was often undisciplined and that often substituted emotional manipulation for substantial ideas.

 Teaching Early American Writings: Colonial-Spanish   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
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.
