	MSN Encarta - African Literature
		Literatures in African languages have received little scholarly attention, in part because of a Western bias in favor of literature in European languages.
		African literature in English is more extensive than African literatures in other European languages, but it generally made a later appearance than Lusophone or Francophone African literatures.
		Most of AfricaÃ¢ÂÂs written literature is in European languages, owing to European colonization of the continent from the 16th century to the mid-20th century.

	droog_e.htm
		Since literature is an offspring of culture, which is formed by the history of a people, one cannot speak of something like African, Asian or European literature, because all these consist of so many different cultures.
		As long as Europe is populated by at least people from 40 different cultures, using more than 40 languages one cannot speak or even think about European literature.
		One can only speak of European literature when speaking in the broadest of manners.

	Classes You May Have Missed
		Brazilian literature itself began, as did Spanish-American literature, as a specifically European phenomenon in the New World, with a certain inferiority complex that Brazilians, even those of European descent, were not as good as the Europeans in Europe.
		The writer Clarice Lispector, another Brazilian author, was heavily influenced by European thought, and as a Jew and a woman was something of an outsider.
		Joaquim Maria Machado de Assis, who wrote at the end of the nineteenth century and the beginning of this one, is often considered the greatest figure in Brazilian literature.

	Romanian Books
		Professor of Romanian studies at the School of Slavonic and East European Studies at the University of London, he is recognized as the leading authority on Romanian history in Great Britain and is the author of numerous books and articles on Romanian history, including Ceausescu and the Securitate: Coercion and Dissent in Romania, 1965-1989.
		By combining the insights of an American and a Romanian scholar with a vision of Romanian pastoral life developed by a leading American photographer, the reader is introduced to one of the most complicated and elusive cultural icons in European civilization.
		It describes the gradual transformation of an identity that was initially religious and was based upon the Romanians' membership in the international Orthodox community into one that was secular and broadly European.

	Department of Central, Eastern and Northern European Studies, UBC
		It is hoped that such an interdisciplinary course will help sensitize students of German to the world of music while interested music students will have a chance of gaining greater familiarity with the German language and literature as well as European cultural history.
		The course deals with 20th century Eastern and East-Central European literature and film during the period of the break down of Western civilization as a result of Nazism, the two World Wars and the attempt to build a communist utopia by force.
		The course will look at phenomena in the traditional European societies approximately up to the beginning of the 20th century but it will not focus on developments related to Fascism, Communism or the post-communist period.

	Literary Encyclopedia: German Baroque Literature
		Sweeping aside the non-learned literature of the previous century, Opitz based the reform on classical and contemporary forms, styles, and motifs, thereby laying the groundwork for the integration of German into the family of European Renaissance literatures.
		Moreover, German Baroque literature was part of the European tradition, and as such comprised a significant body of Neo-Latin writings and foreign language translations, alongside original works in German.
		Ironically, this goal would be reached by way of translations and adaptations from French, Italian, and Spanish literatures, demonstrating thereby the equality of the German language with its European counterparts.

	sffworld.com - Fantasy outside of English Speaking Countries.
		January 4th, 2005, 06:44 PM From what I've understood from our friends in the non-English European countries, fantasy is seldom accepted as a form of fictional literature and there's not much of a native market for even the English fantasy works.
		January 5th, 2005, 03:32 AM From what I've understood from our friends in the non-English European countries, fantasy is seldom accepted as a form of fictional literature and there's not much of a native market for even the English fantasy works.
		I didn't want to be sterotypical but I could never see fantasy doing well in countries such as France or Italy because they always seem to be very proud (and so they should be) of their cultural history and modern culture in refernce to art and literature.

	Antebellum America, 1784-1865: Literature
		Like his contemporary James Fenimore Cooper, Irving proved that Americans could write European literature as well as Europeans could.
		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.
		A transitional figure, Irving somewhat ironically contributed to America's literary independence while producing work that was distinctively European in content and style.

	Literature
		As European Statehood matured since the peace of Westphalia in 1648, and since European and American Democracy developed and matured in the 19th century, Western democratic societies found a pragmatic balance between Religion and State, Religion and Politics.
		Statements such as the separation of religion from State, and the separation of religion from politics emerged in European history at a time when emergent democratic society faced Church backed obstruction.

	At the Cutting Edge of Jewish Studies; The Most Recent Developments in the Field
		Hebrew literature since 1948, when the State of Israel was born, is Israeli literature, and every stage in Israeli history- especially the wars of 1948, 1956, 1967, 1973, 1982 the Intifada from 1987 onward, the Gulf war of 1991, and the peace process - is marked by a fairly distinct body of literature.
		Also, the status of pre-1948 Hebrew literature was higher than after 1948 as it was written for and by an elite and was perceived as an essential part of the process of state-building.
		By the mid-1920s the centre of Hebrew literature shifted from Russia and Poland to Tel Aviv.

	Learn more about Esperanto in the online encyclopedia.
		Esperanto has proven to be a good deal easier for speakers of European languages to learn as a second language than any national language (especially highly irregular and/or non-phonetic languages such as English, French, and Chinese).
		There is also evidence that studying Esperanto before studying any other second language (especially an Indo-European language) speeds and improves learning, because learning subsequent foreign languages is easier than learning one's first, while the use of a grammatically simple auxiliary language lessens the "first foreign language" learning hurdle.
		Esperanto words are more changed in orthography and endings from their etymological cognates than in some auxiliary languages.
