Anglophone literature... sounds good!, but,what is it?

According to the most literal definition, "anglophone literature is simply literature written in English; but the term is used in this context to refer to literature written outside of Great Britain and America."

Besides... 
"Taken literally,  “Anglophone literature” refers to literatures written in English; however, in literary studies the term has many inflections, hence the need for a working definition. For the purpose of this examination, we define “Anglophone literature” as literatures in English produced by writers from nations that are former colonies of Britain, excluding the United States.  The term “Anglophone" highlights the linguistic commonality of these writings. "
