Literature is the art of written works. Literally translated, the word means "acquaintance with letters" (from Latin littera letter), and therefore the academic study of literature is known as Letters (as in the phrase "Arts and Letters"). In Western culture the most basic written literary types include fiction and nonfiction. DefinitionsPeople may perceive a difference between "literature" and some popular forms of written work. The terms "literary fiction" and "literary merit" often 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." From Wikipedia under the

Q. I need to know for a screenplay. Who, in history or literature, either voluntarily became hated for the good of society or who did something great and gave the credit to someone else for the good of everyone. It's pathetic, but all I can think of is Batman from the Dark Knight, how he makes himself out to be a villain at the end so everyone venerates Harvey Dent. Also, I suppose the guy who allegedly wrote Shakespeare's plays would count. Anyone else? Asked by mogali - Tue Jun 2 21:33:50 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. The authors of the King James Bible. All the credit when to King James. He just ordered that a Bible be produced in English. Answered by unknown - Tue Jun 2 21:38:34 2009 Im interested in taking night classes on literature and writing. Where do i start looking for information? Q. I graduated college four years ago. Since then, I feel like my brain has deteriorated. Im interested in the arts, particularly film, literature, even history and philosophy. I want to go back to school, but with 2 jobs, i can only commit to a 2-3 night/weekend classes a week. I live in the San Fernando Valley in So. Cal. Where do is start looking for information? Asked by ginger edward cullen - Tue May 2 20:00:09 2006 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. I am not sure about Cali, but I know that in most states local colleges and High schools offer satellite courses for adult ed. Try contacting your school districts for info relating to continuing education. I am almost certain that if you are just looking for the intellectual "pick me up," that you could audit classes at a community college..most times for a very small fee or even better free! Hope this helps! Answered by maudj - Tue May 16 18:48:11 2006 What are your five favorite pieces of literature?
Q. Preferably in order of favorite to least favorite. When I say literature, I mean pieces you would read in English class, not current bestsellers. Thanks so much!
