The French part in literature should be obvious enough, especially compared to memes like Russia or the USA.
France is the leader in the domain since the 12th century. This is why 'roman' is the word for novels in many languages. Everything from old fantastical takes to history takes from there. Then you have all of the innovations from the 16th century and the invention of most literary structures still in use. In term of high points, classical French theatre is the absolute peak of /lit/, something even Steiner came to admit.
There is scarcely a single literary genre or vogue before romanticism that didn't originate in France. And that was the exception (born in Germany) because just after Realism, naturalism, symbolism, etc (plus the beginnings of new genres like science fiction) came from that country in the second half of the 19th century. The last century was also the most impressive there. In addition literary criticism was the best among frogfags with people like Boileau or Sainte-Beuve that were mere critics, on par with what would be great writers in most countries.

The case for Italy in poetry is slightly thinner but still strong. First of all, you have the obvious grand epics, which angloids don't even know the name of outside Dante. The century of Ariosto and Tasso is enough to make Italy a strong contender in the category. It prolongs itself in a long poetic tradition ul to this day.

Better than glorifying some fellow slav shithole that had one decent century of literature.
Or even worse, sucking the amerimutts. How can anyone say 'usa' with a straight face when talking about a great literary tradition?
If you have some sort of particular hatred for France, Italy is another contender, Germany not that far behind, and Spain/Spanish language is underrated, I'm tempted to rank them above Russia, on par with Anglos.

Everyone hates their country's classics after school. Given origins of the school system currently dominant across the world, I wouldn't be surprised if the purpose of literature classes was conceived from the start as instilling utter hate for serious reading and moreso for thinking about what they read.

American literature is incredibly diverse for having existed less than 200 years. You've got all the different subsections:

>Melville
>Hawthorne
>Crane
>Whitman

>James
>Dreiser
>Frost

>Hemingway
>Fitzgerald
>Faulkner
>Steinbeck
>Wolfe

>O'Neill
>Miller
>Williams

>Kerouac
>Ginsberg
>Burroughs

>Pynchon
>Vonnegut
>Delillo
>Barth

>DFW

Every subsection has a foundational consistency while each individual author still maintains their own unique style. For example, you can recognize the underlying similarities between the plays of Arthur Miller and Tennessee Williams, but both playwrights were also unique and different in their own rights. I think the most impressive thing about the American literary canon, though, is not its diversity in terms of styles and genres (and also race, but I failed to mention a single non-white author since I have read very little from names like Hughes, Baldwin, and Morrison), but rather the sheer amount of great literature it has produced in such a short amount of time.

Nabokov wrote roughly 3/4 of the endnotes and directed the composition of the poem. The rest was written by Liberace, his partner from 1964-68, and mainly ripped off from an autobiographical memoir of American poet Robert Frost that Nabokov had refused to release to the public and then had destroyed.
