 Literature
The Continuum Encyclopedia of American Literature edited by Steven R. Serafin, Alfred Bendixen (Continuum) The history of American literature is what Van Wyck Brooks terms the story of its "makers and finders," those responsible for creating an "American" literature and those who provide meaning and understanding to the creative process.
It is the story of a literature coming of age in search of definition and affirmation, extending many centuries from Native American oral and pictorial tradition to the literary expression of a new millennium.
It is both reflection and representation of past and present: from exploration and discovery to settlement and colonization; from rebellion and independence to growth and maturity; from slavery and abolitionism to civil war and restoration; from expansion and industrial­ization to immigration and naturalization; from world war and recovery to nuclear capabil­ity and global diplomacy.

 Introductory Note. Sir Richard Steele. 1909-14. English Essays: Sidney to Macaulay. The Harvard Classics
Steele left the University to enter the army, and opened his literary career, while still a soldier, with “The Christian Hero.” In 1702 he began to write for the stage, and was of notable influence in redeeming the English drama from the indecency which had marked much of it since the Restoration.
Like Addison, he combined politics with literature, and in 1715 was knighted as a reward for his services to the Hanoverian party.
The chief glory of the “Spectator” is, of course, the club, and it was in the essay which follows that Steele first sketched the characters composing it.

He was appointed an overseer of the press in 1709 and 1710, while in 1710, 1715, 1720, and 1733 he wrote the meeting's epistle to the various monthly and quarterly meetings within the verge of the yearly meeting.
Shortly before he returned to the Assembly, in the election of 1715, Norris began a long and distinguished judicial career, when he was commissioned a justice of the peace for Philadelphia County on 4 June 1715; he was awarded second rank in the commission, behind Richard Hill.
By the end of 1715 Norris was writing to correspondents that" high flying clergy and pretending lawyers" were claiming that the parliamentary law in itself repealed Pennsylvania's affirmation law.

 AllRefer.com - Sir Richard Steele (English Literature, 1500 To 1799, Biography) - Encyclopedia
In 1713, Steele carried on a celebrated political controversy with Swift, the chief Tory spokesman, in the course of which he wrote his pamphlet The Crisis.
He became a Whig member of Parliament in 1713, was expelled by his political enemies the following year, but returned under the Hanoverians, and was knighted in 1715.
His opposition to the Peerage Bill in his weekly, the Plebeian (1719), involved him in a quarrel with Addison, and Steele's attempt at reconciliation was frustrated by his friend's death.

The greatest part of this literature is written from the viewpoint of the outsider diagnosing sin (in the 19th century) or pathology (since).
Southern literature in the 20th century is the marvel of the world and probably the most lasting cultural acheivement of the U.S. Literature begins with language and that subject begins with The Language of the American South* by the great literary scholar and critic Cleanth Brooks.
Not being a literary critic, my taste runs to creative literature that conveys with verity the life of the South, and not that which may be judged by the world as the greatest.

In a way, neoanalysis is a continuation of the Homeric Question, since the neoanalysts are concerned with the history and constitution of the thematic motifs that make up the epics.
According to the neoanalysts, the Homeric epics are original, many of their motifs and elements of plot having nevertheless been borrowed from literature preceding the Homeric epics.
On the other hand, the field work of Parry and his collaborators in Yugoslavia, where they studied the oral heroic poetry of the Serbian guslars, concluded that the Homeric epics could be seen as the works of an oral tradition.
