What is literature ?

Literature has always been there with human race, since from the very early stage of human race. Literature is not the thing which had came only after the invention of writing technology and human habit of recording. In its childhood literature was full of fantasy and imagination of abstract ideas and experiences.in this stage literature was basically in oral form. It was not like Hegel's concept about history "that what is written only that can be called literature". It is very nerrow way of looking at literature. Thus one has to bore in mind that literature not always written thing. The history of literature is the history of human race and its development.

Whereas Indian the classicism the function of the poetry is to provide knowledge and the driving force behind their creation is intellect. So we can say that In the time of classicism the poets were restricted, they were not allowed to think, or to imagine and to express what they feel. Classics were imitating or present city life, and they follow Greek and Roman tradition. Whereas romantics were imitating the rustic life and they idealize the nature.

Because what matters to him is the quality and the skill what makes him poet The word diction means the effectiveness and the degre...
