ASSIGNMENT FOR LITERATURE:

1. WHAT IS LITERATURE?

Literature, in its broadest sense, is any single body of written works. More restrictively, literature is
writing that 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.

Its Latin root literatura/litteratura (derived itself from littera: letter or handwriting) was used to refer to
all written accounts, though contemporary definitions extend the term to include texts that are
spoken or sung (oral literature). The concept has changed meaning over time: nowadays it can
broaden to have non-written verbal art forms, and thus it is difficult to agree on its origin, which can
be paired with that of language or writing itself. Developments in print technology have allowed an
evergrowing distribution and proliferation of written works, culminating in electronic literature.

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).
