Views
According to Indonesian writer Sapardi Djoko Damono, Teeuw's analyses of Indonesian literature always include the influence of the author's background; he notes that Teeuw's analysis of Pramoedya Ananta Toer's work included an in-depth biography of the novelist. He borrowed elements of linguistics in his 1980 work Tergantung Pada Kata (Hanging on Words), an analysis of Indonesian poetry.Шаблон:Sfn
In History of Modern Indonesian Literature, Teeuw wrote that modern Indonesian literature began in 1920, with the Indonesian National Awakening. He argued that Indonesian literature, despite the country only becoming independent on 17 August 1945, was born with the concept of a united Indonesia. Teeuw further divided Indonesian literature into two periods: before independence and after independence.Шаблон:Sfn
Teeuw described Marah Roesli's Sitti Nurbaya (1923) as the first true Indonesian novel, as the earlier Azab dan Sengsara (Pain and Suffering; 1920) by Merari Siregar was less developed.Шаблон:Sfn He wrote that Sitti Nurbaya, Abdul Muis' Salah Asuhan (Wrong Upbringing; 1928), and Sutan Takdir Alisjahbana's Layar Terkembang (With Sails Unfurled; 1936) were the most important pre-war novels.Шаблон:Sfn
