Taeko Kōno (河野 多惠子 , Kōno Taeko , February 24, 1926 – January 29, 2015) is one of the most important Japanese women writers of the second half of the twentieth century, someone whose influence on contemporary Japanese women writers is acknowledged to be immeasurable.
 Kōno is one of a generation of remarkable women writers who made an appearance in Japan in the 1960s and 1970s and who include Kurahashi Yumiko, Mori Mari, Setouchi Harumi, and Takahashi Takako (Japanese name order).
 She also established a reputation for herself as an acerbic essayist, a playwright and a literary critic.
 By the end of her life she was a leading presence in Japan's literary establishment, one of the first women writers to serve on the Akutagawa Literary Prize committee.
 Oe Kenzaburo, Japan's Nobel Laureate, described her as the most "lucidly intelligent" woman writers writing in Japan, and the US critic and academic Masao Miyoshi identified her as among the most "critically alert and historically intelligent."
 US critic and academic Davinder Bhowmik assesses her as “…one of the truly original voices of the twentieth century, beyond questions of gender or even nationality.”
 A writer who deals with some quite dark themes, Kōno is known to readers in English through the collection of short stories "Toddler-Hunting and Other Stories" (New Directions, 1996), which draws together her best writing from the 1960s.
George Lyman Kittredge (February 28, 1860 – July 23, 1941) was a celebrated professor and scholar of English literature at Harvard University.
 His scholarly edition of the works of William Shakespeare as well as his writings and lectures on Shakespeare and other literary figures made him one of the most influential American literary critics of the early 20th century.
 He was also of great importance in American folklore studies, continuing the work of his mentor, Francis James Child, the first person to hold a chair at Harvard (created especially in his honor) dedicated to the study of English literature and author of a definitive five-volume comparative study of the English and Scottish popular ballad.
 As a folklorist Kittredge was instrumental in encouraging American folk song and folklore collecting among all ethnic groups in all regions of the country.
John Anthony Burgess Wilson, {'1': ", '2': ", '3': 'FRSL', '4': "} ( ; 25 February 1917 – 22 November 1993) – who published under the pen name Anthony Burgess – was an English writer and composer.
 From relatively modest beginnings in a Catholic family in Manchester, he eventually became one of the best known English literary figures of the latter half of the twentieth century.
The Age of Extremes: The Short Twentieth Century, 1914–1991 is a book by Eric Hobsbawm, published in 1994.
 In it, Hobsbawm comments on what he sees as the disastrous failures of state socialism, capitalism, and nationalism; he offers an equally skeptical take on the progress of the arts and changes in society in the latter half of the twentieth century.
Robert Lee Frost (March26, 1874January29, 1963) was an American poet.
 His work was initially published in England before it was published in America.
 He is highly regarded for his realistic depictions of rural life and his command of American colloquial speech.
 His work frequently employed settings from rural life in New England in the early twentieth century, using them to examine complex social and philosophical themes.
 One of the most popular and critically respected American poets of the twentieth century, Frost was honored frequently during his lifetime, receiving four Pulitzer Prizes for Poetry.
 He became one of America's rare "public literary figures, almost an artistic institution."
 He was awarded the Congressional Gold Medal in 1960 for his poetic works.
 On July 22, 1961, Frost was named poet laureate of Vermont.
Jørgen-Frantz Jacobsen  (November 29, 1900 – March 24, 1938) was a Faroese writer.
 He has a distinct place in Scandinavian literature, as he is the only Faroese writer to achieve international best-seller status.
 This status derives from his sole novel, "Barbara: Roman" (1939; translated, 1948 and 1993), which has the added cachet of being one of the few Scandinavian novels to be translated twice into English within the space of fifty years.
 The novel was translated into five other languages shortly after the first edition in the Danish language.
 It was also adapted as a motion picture directed by Nils Malmros in 1997 (see "Barbara").
 These facts, together with Jacobsen's essays, a study of the Faroe Islands published in the guise of a travel guide, and a volume of his letters, are sufficient to suggest that had he lived longer, he would have been one of the outstanding literary figures in Scandinavia in the twentieth century.
 He was one of five Faroese writers, all born between 1900 and 1903, who represented a remarkable blossoming of literature in a country which had no tradition of literature in a modern sense.
 Jacobsen, together with William Heinesen, Christian Matras, Heðin Brú, and Martin Joensen, created modern Faroese literature, whether writing in Danish, as did Jacobsen and Heinesen, or the Faroese language, as did the others.
Social class in Luxembourg after 1945 is generally based on occupation, personal income and spending power as well as rights to social welfare rather than birth circumstances and family background.
 The country’s demographic situation has changed considerably since 1945, where a mostly blue-collar working population gave way to mostly white-collar occupations over the second half of the twentieth century.
 Differences in consumer patterns between the white collar and blue collar workers decreased considerably between 1963 and 1977, causing a socio-economic evolution which saw a wider sphere of access for both working and middle classes to consumer goods such as cars, white goods and real estate, thus demonstrating an equalisation of social strata in terms of income and spending power.
 The population of Luxembourg has also altered in nature due to significant growth in numbers of residents and increases in migration patterns since the mid-twentieth century; in 1961 13% of the population consisted of non-Luxembourgers, by 2016, this is at 47%.
 At present, one third of the Luxembourgish population has a migrant background’, and this is as a result of the "response to socioeconomic processes" that drew large numbers of immigrants to the country in the latter half of the twentieth century.

Nicaraguan literature can be traced to pre-Columbian times with the myths and oral literature that formed the cosmogonic view of the world that indigenous people had.
 Some of these stories are still known in Nicaragua.
 Like many Latin American countries, the Spanish conquerors have had the most effect on both the culture and the literature.
 The literature of Nicaragua has had many important literary figures in the Spanish language with internationally prominent writers such as Rubén Darío, who is regarded as the most important literary figure in Nicaragua.
 He is referred to as the ""Father of Modernism"" for leading the modernismo literary movement at the end of the 19th century.
 Other important literary figures include Salomón de la Selva, Carlos Martínez Rivas, Pablo Antonio Cuadra, Alberto Cuadra Mejia, Manolo Cuadra Vega, Pablo Alberto Cuadra Arguello, Ernesto Cardenal, Sergio Ramírez Mercado, Gioconda Belli, José Coronel Urtecho, Alfonso Cortés, Julio Valle Castillo, and Claribel Alegría, among others.
