  NationMaster - Encyclopedia: 1957 in literature
With Greek and Latin, Tamil shares the misfortune of having lost the vast portion of its ancient literature, but while Greek and Latin have yet their drarnas, epics, and historical, philosophical and forensic prose, it is almost exclusively the lyric and heroic and bardic poetry of ancient Tamil that has survived.
While it is given to the student of comparative literature to trace the origins of Sanskrit literature in the hymns of the Vedas, and the early attempts of the Grecian bards in the Homeric poems, of the origins of Tamil literature, he can find little trace or historical account.
Literary criticism of Tamil poetry is a new field of study, for histories of Tamil literature have until recently been preoccupied with disputes regarding chronology, and with proving or disproving the veracity of fabulous accounts that have grown around literary origins and lives of poets.

 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.

I have already completed about half of the research necessary for such a book, aided in part by the literature that already exists on the "missile gap" era (in stark contrast to the minimal attention historians have paid strategic defense during the early years of the Cold War).

There is an entire literature out there full of insights on the history of technology, but with a few prominent exceptions, little of it relates directly to military or diplomatic history.

This is because literature is now tackling a wider range of subjects, as a result of the new dimensions of the creative energy and activity of the people.
And the new subjects in literature are accompanied by new artistic forms.
At present, Soviet literature is moving away, noticeably so, from naïve descriptions of sweet harmony; it no longer evades the conflicts which are part of the drama of life.

 Amazon.com: Literature and Evil: Books: Georges Bataille   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Bataille, in his examination of such figures as Emily Bronte, Sade, Baudelaire, Genet, Kafka and Michelet, and the component of "evil" in their works, argues that literature is, in fact, "guilty" and that, moreover, it must acknowledge itself as such.
Though elliptical and opaque, this book is a challenging and fascinating study, which has a potential for laying the foundations for a philosophy of composition that underwrites the aesthetic of evil and explores its relation to the overarching forces of institutional and administrative surveillance.
While Bataille seems to alternate between ascribing the driving force of literature to both the Life Drive (Eros) and the Death Drive (Thanatos), he does succeed in showing how Freud - although he never explicitely invokes the name - can be used for a new method of reading literature.

The Book of Songs, China's first anthology of poetry and earliest literary achievement, was compiled in the sixth century B.C. Literature that followed in the long succession of dynasties includes pre-Qin prose in a simple style, magnificent Han Dynasty fu (rhymed prose), and the yuefu (folk songs) of the end of the Han Dynasty.
Modern Chinese literature has seen two golden ages: The first was in the 1920s to the 1930s when vernacular Chinese replaced the archaic written Chinese language in the New Culture Movement, as represented by Lu Xun, Shen Congwen, Ba Jin, Lao She, and Zhang Ailing.
The Museum of Modern Chinese Literature in Beijing, built in 2000, displays the desks, chairs and writing tools used by 18 of the most famous modern Chinese writers.

In a radical departure from the past, a people brought up to associate literature with education and moral improvement turned increasingly for escapism to cheap imported martial arts novels and sentimental romances.
However the trial which followed firmly established the principle that Vietnamese literature existed to advance socialism and must be guided by the Communist Party vanguard.
With the establishment of the Việt Nam Writers’ Association in 1957 northern literature became firmly subordinated to the task of building the socialist future.

Over the past century southern fl literature has evolved from a relatively sparse body of writings, mainly imitative of Euro-American literary forms and thematically focused on the plight of fls in the South, to a sophisticated literary canon whose forms and meanings coalesce to give it a distinct identity.
William Wells Brown, Frederick Douglass, Frances W. Harper, and a few other southern fls wrote various types of short prose fiction during the 19th Near the turn of the century Charles Waddell Chesnutt elevated southern fl short fiction to the level of literary art.
The tales of white southerner Thomas Nelson Page and those of Chesnutt exemplified the essential differences between fl writers and white writers in approaches to the plantation South.

Written in 1946, Camus's compelling and troubling tale of a disaffected, apparently amoral young man has earned a durable popularity in part because it reveals so vividly the anxieties of its time.
Alienation, the fear of anonymity, spiritual doubt--all could have been given a purely modern inflection in the hands of a lesser talent than Camus, who won the Nobel Prize in 1957 and was noted for his existentialist aesthetic.
The remarkable trick of The Stranger, however, is that it's not mired in period philosophy.

 Hats and Children's Literature
But, I believe, the proliferation of the hat in children’s literature is more than all this.
And it stays funny too - if you don't worry too much about what a nut-case Aunt Lucy is. I really appreciated the political incorrectness of this book, rather unusual and refreshing in today's children's literature (hooray).
Certain individuals are so closely associated with their hats that it is hard to think of either the hat or the person without the other coming to mind - Abe Lincoln and his stove-pipe top hat, Carmen Miranda and her towering hat of fruit, Daniel Boone and his coonskin hat - to name a few.
