SECTION 1
LITERATURE
Literature, in its broadest sense, is any single body of written works. More
restrictively, literature is writing that is considered to be an art form, or
any single writing deemed to have artistic or intellectual value, often due to
deploying language in ways that differ from ordinary usage.
Literature can be classified according to whether it is fiction or non-fiction,
and whether it is poetry or prose. It can be further distinguished according to
major forms such as the novel, short story or drama; and works are often
categorized according to historical periods or their adherence to certain aesthetic
features or expectations (genre).

THE 5
MAIN GENRES
OF
LITERATURE
Literature is a broad term that encompasses almost everything we read,
see, and hear. It helps to be able to break it down into categories,
for ease of understanding and analysis. Here are 5 genres of literature
commonly taught in the classroom, with explanations and examples.
Categorizing Literature
The 5 Main Genres of Literature
Back in ancient Greece, literature was divided into two main categories:
tragedy and comedy. Nowadays the list of possible types and genres of
literature can seem endless. But it is still possible to narrow down the
vast amount of literature available into a few basic groups.
The five genres of literature students should be familiar with are
Poetry,
Drama
Prose
Nonfiction
Media
each of which is explained in more detail below. You’ll see some overlap between
genres; for example prose is a broader term that includes both drama and non-fiction.
