 The State of Our Literature (August 26, 1806)
It is the plant of our gardens; and the vigor of its growth, the extension of its branches, the beauty of its foliage, and the value of its fruit, are proportioned, not less to the skill of the cultivator, than to the strength of native soil.
On this occasion, in the midst of my friends, and in that village of my native State which claims to be the seat of its literature, it is more the wish of my heart, to be useful, as a man, than to be splendid or declamatory as an orator.
Another impediment to the advancement of literature is the pursuit of polities.

It was during this period that he published jointly with Arnim the famous collection of old folksongs known as "Des Knaben Wunderhorn", which appeared in three volumes between the years 1805 and 1808.

 4.7 Finnish literature
Lönnrot was under the influence of Homeric ideals and tried to forge the poems into a single epic, adding bits and pieces of his own and altering some parts to make them appear a whole, which they however never have been.
Nevertheless, its role to the development of Finnish literature, arts and identity can hardly be over-estimated, and having been translated to all major world languages and lots of minor ones, it is no doubt the most important contribution of Finland to world literature.
Snellman's chief achievement was in his role as a national awakener, the editor of two newspapers, strongly encouraging literature as part of the process leading to independence.

 Cardiff Corvey Articles: Database Project: The Flowers of Literature
Coverage of novels the Flowers of Literature was fairly substantial—there were, for example, notices of 28 novels contained in the volume for 1806—despite the fact that Blagdon’s introductory remarks often echo familiar critical discourse on the dubious moral and literary value of the genre.
The Flowers of Literature was published by the London firm of Benjamin Crosby and Co., which operated between 1794 and 1814, from Stationer’s Hall Court on Ludgate Hill and ‘near Paternoster Row’—establishing it firmly in the topographical centre of the London booktrade.
The object of this work is, the laudable one of bringing into contempt the ridiculous and disgusting tenets of modern philosophers, as they prevailed a few years ago, when their progress bid fair to overthrow, with the altar and the throne, the moral system of all civilized nations.

In Tractatus theologico-politicus (1677), Baruch Spinoza, the Jewish philosopher, recognized as one of the founders of modern biblical criticism, reached a conclusion much like that of Du Maes, that Ezra compiled Genesis to II Kings from documents of varying dates.
The so-called "documents" should not be considered as mutually exclusive writings, completely independent of one another, but rather as a continual stream of literature representing a pattern of progressive interpretation of traditions and history.

Cussen's most important contribution, however, is the long overdue recognition of the importance of poetry and literature, and the Greek and Roman classics in particular, for the Spanish American independence generation.
Though it may seem strange or unbelievable to late twentieth-century sensibilities, Bello's was a generation which venerated literature, and had read widely and deeply.
Cussen does an admirable job of reconstructing the classical heritage and the importance of literature for the Spanish American independence generation.
