What is literature ?
By mitalba rayjada
Defination
• Literature, most generically, is any body of written works. More
restrictively, literature writing is considered to be an art form, or any
single writing deemed to have artistic or intellectual value, often due
to deploying language in ways that differ from ordinary usage.
• Literature can be classified according to whether it is fiction or non-
fiction, and whether it is poetry or prose. It can be further
distinguished according to major forms such as the novel, short story
or drama; and works are often categorized according to historical
periods or their adherence to certain aesthetic features or
expectations (genre)
