My views about literature is
In a bound sense it simply means ‘Any thing that is written: like time tables, catalogues, textbooks, travel brochures and so on is literature.
Rees gives broad meaning that anything written or printed is literature. One side literature newspaper, contains many articles but other side literature we have great books like.’ Hamlet ’ , ‘paradise lost’, ‘Oliver twist’.
all so like, poem, novels, essays, dramas, short story.
Written by,
1. poem :Sidney, Spencer.
2. Novel :Dickens.
3. Essays :Bacon.

Literature has emotion and not information. It communicants feelings not facts.
English literature is something more then only written or printed words.
