Literature of the United States - Literature of the United States This article is part of the Culture of the United States series. Cinema Folklore Music Dance Literature Cuisine Poetry Architecture Visual arts The literature of the United States may be considered as belonging to English literature or as a distinct body of literature. Much early American literature is derivative: European forms and styles transferred to new locales. For example, Wieland and other novels by Charles Brockden Brown (1771-1810) are energetic imitations of the Gothic novels then being written in England. Even the well-wrought tales of Washington Irving (1783-1859), notably Rip Van Winkle and The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, seem comfortably European despite their New World settings. Perhaps the first American writer to produce boldly new fiction and poetry was Edgar Allan.
Literature of Puerto Rico - Literature of Puerto Rico The history of the Puerto Rican literature dates back to the 17th century when Puerto Ricans started telling stories and poems using the oral tradition of Coplas and Decimas.

Lola Rodríguez de Tío (1843-1924), José Gautier Benitez (1851-1880) and José Gualberto Padilla (1829-96) wrote poetry .Salvador Brau (1842-1912), Eugenio María de Hostos (1839-1903), and Alejandro Tapía y Rivera (1826-1882) were recognized in Latin America as Puerto Rican authors. Manuel Zeno Gandía's "La Charca" was published in 1894. The novel presented a grim look at the colonial situation of Puerto Rico. José de Diego (1867-1918).
Karl May - (February 25, 1842 - March 30, 1912) was a German writer noted chiefly for his wild west books set in the American West. He visited North America in 1908, well after writing his books, never getting west of Buffalo, New York. His very influential fictional accounts of the Western milieu have no direct basis in experience, but in his ingenious use of creativity, imagination and source literature (travel books, anthropological guides etc.). He wrote under many different pen names, including Capitain Ramon Diaz de la Escosura, M. Gisela, Hobble-Frank, Karl Hohenthal, D. Jam, Prinz Muhamel Lautréamont, Ernst von Linden, P. van der Löwen, Emma Pollmer, Richard Plöhn, and Oberlehrer Franz Langer. May invented the characters of Winnetou, the wise Indian, and Old Shatterhand, Winnetou's white partner. His works were immensely successful.
