  DUTCH LITERATURE - LoveToKnow Article on DUTCH LITERATURE   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
During an embassy in Rome (1411-1412) this eminent diplomatist made himself acquainted with the writings of Boccaccio, and commenced a vast poem on the course of love, Der Minnen Loep,5 which is a wonderful mixture of classical and Biblical instances of amorous adventures set in a framework of didactic philosophy.
The recent literature of Holland presents the interesting phenomenon of an aesthetic revolution, carefully and cleverly planned, crowned with unanticipated success, and dying away in a languor encouraged b~y the complete ~ absence of organized resistance.
Dutch literature presented features of remarkable interest between 1882 and 1888, but since that time the general heightening of the average of merit, the abandonment of the old dry conventions, and a recognition of the artistic value of words and forms, are more evident to a foreign observer than any very important single expression.

 Californian Literature - 1897
Similarly it is the fashion to call Mark Twain a Californian writer, though he was born in Florida, “ran” a newspaper in Buffalo, started a publishing house in New York, and acquired must of his mining knowledge in Nevada.
Yet it is evident that, unless this article is to stop here, I shall have to use the term “Californian literature” in the loose and vague sense that is almost, if not quite, universal.
Californian literature has had its Golden Age, and it is not unreasonable to expect that for many years to come there will be nothing specifically distinctive about it.
