| | Literature of the United States - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The literature of the United States may be considered as belonging to English literature or as a distinct body of literature. | | | African American literature is literature written by, about, and sometimes specifically for African-Americans. | | | For example, Wieland and other novels by Charles Brockden Brown (1771-1810) are energetic imitations of the Gothic novels then being written in England. |

| | Jospeh Freeman's Introduction to PROLETARIAN LITERATURE IN THE UNITED STATES |
| | The growth of the workers' movement was accompanied by a growth of proletarian literature. | | | It is not literature that governs society, he pointed out, but society that conditions literature. | | | The liberal critic who concludes that all literature except proletarian literature is equally sincere and artistic, that every poet except the proletarian poet is animated by "experience," "life," "human values," has abandoned the search before it has really begun. |

| | He traces continuities between literatures of countries of ethnic origin and the literature of the United States (for example, discussing the influences of Cuban writers on Cuban-American literature), but notes the ruptures and particularities as well. | | | This literature, and Luis's readings of it, makes clear that the reality is considerably more complex. | | | He also notes its contribution to Latin American and Caribbean literature, observing that the writers he studies "are at the forefront of developing a Latino intercultural literature." |

| | His assertion that all U.S. literature was ethnic and his careful readings both of works from the traditional canon and from the growing number of ethnic texts prompted a rethinking of the canon itself. | | | There were some examples of formal literature among ethnic groups during the early decades of the past century. | | | The work of European criticism regarding "difference" in literature encouraged scholars in the United States, such as Columbia University Professor Edward Said, to explore this subject -- the status of "the other" and the exotic in Western literature. |

| | Puerto Rican Literature in the United States: Stages and Perspectives |
| | His substantial work on contemporary Puerto Rican literature is based on an ample knowledge of the material and close familiarity with many of the authors. | | | Despite the sharp disconnections between Island- and United States-based traditions, and between stages of the literary history here, it is still necessary to talk about modern Puerto Rican literature as a whole and of the emigrant literature—including the Nuyorican—as an extension or manifestation of that national literature. | | | Perhaps most distinctly among these literatures, though, Puerto Rican writing today is a literature of straddling, a literature operative within and between two national literatures and marginal in both. |

| | Thus, contemporary Hispanic literature is in essence a literature of resistance to economic, social and cultural oppression. | | | The Plan Espiritual de Aztlán espoused the concept of brotherhood or carnalismo, a spirit which characterized the literature of the movimiento with its heavy emphasis on male heroes as portrayed in the poem I Am Joaquín. | | | Two other important inspirations for movement literature were the barrio and the Pachuco. |

| | Lakritz Syllabus |
| | Lecture: "Oral tradition is the foundation of literature," according to N. Scott Momaday, and recently writers as diverse as Hurston, Maxine Hong Kingston, Leslie Marmon Silko and others have returned to oral traditions as an structure, thematic, or discursive strategy upon which to build written texts. | | | Whereas the folktales often find ways of escape for their protagonists, Twain's novel seems dedicated to spinning a farce in which a free man is freed, who moves deeper and deeper with his white companion "down the river" in a fiction set in the antebellum south but written for a postbellum United States. | | | Because the selections tend to be brief, I also order two twentieth century novels, as well as two collections of poems by contemporary poets. |

| | A two-volume work, it is considered the first major slave narrative in American literature and was translated into several European languages and reprinted several times until and throughout the nineteenth century. | | | Although Equiano embraces Christianity and Englishness, contemporary critics have questioned the seriousness of his conversion and claim that his Christian rhetoric is tongue-in-cheek. | | | Although by no means comprehensive, that is, we do not list every piece of writing, the timeline does offer the reader a generous survey of both the canonical or major texts and also the critical but less publicized works. |
