Punjabi literature in its essence is secular, pro-people and anti-establishment.
The role of Punjabi writers and intellectuals was now twofold: to make available classical literature and to make efforts to increase the readership as well as to inspire new writers to write modern literature in their own language.
Actually, the bulk of Punjabi literature was produced after the mid-sixties, and the seventies was the most energetic and creative period.

 Henry Nash Smith: Daniel Boone   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
While interesting, Smith missed the point in focusing on the historical figure and not the reasons behind the various representations of Boone since John Filson's "autobiography" in 1784.
This project will attempt to provide a cross-section of Boone portrayals, and attempt to place their points of view in historical context, based on the idea that a culture's myths and heroes explain who they are, and the true historical personages are less important than the image they become.
These two images of Boone were not confined to specific historical periods; they are interspersed in popular writings and literature from 1784 to the present.

 Antebellum America, 1784-1865: Literature
For the first time, America had a significant number of men and women of letters--that is, writers who created works appreciated for their aesthetic value and who made a career or at least a serious avocation of literature.
The first of these writers was Washington Irving, whose Sketch Book of Geoffrey Crayon, first published in 1819, was a sensation in England and helped build the United States' reputation for creative literature.
A transitional figure, Irving somewhat ironically contributed to America's literary independence while producing work that was distinctively European in content and style.
