what is Literature?


what is Literature?
The quest to discover a definition for ''literature'' is a road that is much travelled, through the point of arrival,if ever reached,is seldom satisfactory,Most attempted definitions are broad and vague, and they inevitably change over time, in fact, the only thing that is certain about defining literature is that definition will change. concepts of what is literature change over time as well. what may be considered ordinary and not worthy of comment in one time period may be considered literay genius in another intial reviews of Emily bronte 's wuthering Heights in 1847 were less than spectacular. However,Wuthering Heights is now considered one of the gretest literary achivements of all time. The same can be said Herman Melville 's Moby-Dick [1851]
