"Literature is
any collection of written work.
The term is also used more
narrowly for writings
considered an art form,
especially novels, plays,
and poems. It
includes both print and digital
writing. In
recent centuries, the
definition has expanded to
include oral
literature,
much of which has been
transcribed. Literature
is a method of recording,
preserving, and transmitting knowledge and entertainment.
It can also have a social,
psychological, spiritual, or
political role."
