  Korean Literature (Character of Korean Literature, Korean Classical Literature, Modern Literature of Korea)
The literature of the Koryo period is marked by an increased use of Chinese letters, the disappearance of Hyangga, and the emergence of Koryo kayo (Koryo songs) which continued to be transmitted as oral literature until the Choson period.
Korean modern literature was formed against the background of the crumbling feudalistic society of the Choson Dynasty, the importation of new ideas from the West, and the new political reality of rising Japanese imperial power in East Asia.
The change from traditional to modern literature during the Enlightenment period was largely due to the effects of the New Education and the Korean Language and Literature movement.

 Anaya
Rudolfo Alfonso Anaya was born on October 30, 1937, to Rafaelita and Martin Anaya in Pastura, New Mexico, a small village located on the western edge of the Llano Estacado (the Staked Plains).
During his student years, he was influenced not only by his teachers, but also by the counterculture of the beatniks, especially by their antiestablishment poetry.
His interest in literature remained strong, however, and he eventually returned to the University of New Mexico for further study.

 Teaching Faulkner, Southeast Missouri State University
He continually confronts his characters with a past that wouldn't die, just as he and we were and are confronted by issues of race and class that have their roots in beliefs which existed before this country was born.
One objective is to use the interplay of the two as a means of helping students better understand how literature can work to reinforce and, conversely, to undermine "popular history," that is, historical beliefs which are held by large numbers of people but which may or may not be supported by historical fact.
Literature has always been entwined with popular history, and much of the literature written about the Civil War served to perpetuate popular sentiments, such as the plantation myth, complete with its cavalier planters and slaves faithful to the old "massas" (Schuster 11).

 Nobel Prize in Literature 1937 - Presentation Speech
The recipient of the Nobel Prize in Literature for 1937, Roger Martin du Gard, has dedicated most of his activity to a single work, a long series of novels with the collective title, Les Thibault (1922-40).
It is a vast work both in the number of its volumes and in its scope.
After his pointed and sceptical analysis of the human soul, which almost consumes its object with its often extreme exactness in detail, through the most minute realism possible, Martin du Gard finally pays homage to the idealism of the human spirit.

 AllRefer.com - Van Wyck Brooks (American Literature, Biography) - Encyclopedia
His first book, The Wine of the Puritans (1909), presented the thesis that American culture has been so pervaded by puritanism with its materialistic emphasis that the artistic side of the nation's life has been profoundly neglected.
Although this theme was developed in such subsequent books as America's Coming-of-Age (1915), The Ordeal of Mark Twain (1920), and The Pilgrimage of Henry James (1925), later works, including Emerson and Others (1927), indicate his growing respect for American literature.
In 1937 he won the Pulitzer Prize in history for The Flowering of New England (1936).

 PAL: Harlem Renaissance: A Brief Introduction
Harlem Renaissance (HR) is the name given to the period from the end of World War I and through the middle of the 1930s Depression, during which a group of talented African-American writers produced a sizable body of literature in the four prominent genres of poetry, fiction, drama, and essay.
Common themes: alienation, marginality, the use of folk material, the use of the blues tradition, the problems of writing for an elite audience.
The "renaissance" echoed American progressivism in its faith in democratic reform, in its belief in art and literature as agents of change, and in its almost uncritical belief in itself and its future.
