By reading from other traditions, becoming a citizen of the (European) world as it were but BY nationalism, and being the change you want to see in the world for future generations to be able to look back and say "hey, that guy stood there so early on, and did this!".

I take the grey-haired historians view that all Anglo's, colonies or whatnot, stand united before its eternal King, Shakespeare! Of which every Anglo may gladly sing praises, and rally together for. And in turn be lead by forever.

This is also useful for when they have very little cultural developments of their own.

You take comfort in knowing that AI will advance to such a level that the machine will surpass humankind to a general level at every culture and country across the World; and you'll see that it has improved itself to the point that no matter where you come from or what you did the AI will always beat even the greatest of writers. It's already beating us in writing and in a few years it'll have already surpassed even the greatest if writers. Take a look. It's called GPT-E, and it's absolutely revolutionary (and a little terrifying too). AI is taking huge leaps as of lately, anon. It's a good thing to be informed.

Romania.
>oldest surviving text is a letter from 1521
>hardly anything of literary value was written until well into the 18th century
>a good chunk of the Romanian literary canon comes from the second half of the 19th century and is mostly belated in terms of content and style because we weren't exactly in sync with the Western world
>a few great writers in the 20th century
>most contemporary authors are literal whos
Don't get me wrong, we have some amazing writers but they don't hold a candle to the English, French, Germans or Russians and there is no "old" literature to speak of.
