Literally translated, the word means acquaintance with letters (as in the Arts and Letters"). In Western culture the most basic written literary types include fiction and nonfiction. DefinitionsPeople sometimes perceive a difference between "literature" and some popular forms of written work. The terms "literary fiction" and "literary merit" serve to distinguish between individual works. Critics may exclude works from the classification "literature," for example, on the grounds of a poor standard of grammar and syntax, of an unbelievable or disjointed story-line, or of inconsistent or unconvincing characters. Genre fiction (for example: romance, crime, or science fiction) may also become excluded from consideration as "literature." In scientific and other strictly factual writing, the "literature" of the subject is the whole body of writings about the subject. From Wikipedia under the

Although other subjects such as math, science, etc. are considered as the harder subjects, literature has been often ignored and, at times, resented by people rather than appreciating it for its unique artistic view.

As long as you enjoy it...then it should not bother you what other people choose to appreciate. Not everyone likes opera, or theater...but for those who do...they go and enjoy Answered by candleinthewind7579 - Fri Oct 12 05:48:55 2007 What are the classics of world literature?
