Alhamdulillah we can meet again in this post. So, this is my new corner. Since I am studying Literature in campus, let me share something that I got from it. Check it out !!
Have
you heard about novel, poetry, prose, and drama ? They are the parts of
Literature. What is Literature actually ? Let me tell you some definitions of
Literature, here they are :
1. Literature is
composed of those books, and of those books only, which in the first, by reason
of their subject matter and their mode of treating it, are of genial human interest;
and in which in the second place, the element of form and the pleasure which
focus give are to be regarded as essential (Budianta,et al, 2002:3-4).
2. Literature is
a vital record of what people have seen in life, what they have experienced,
what they have thought and felt about. It is an expression of life through the
medium of language.
3. Literature
would mean writing in which something distinctive and striking about the style
lends it a quality which goes beyond the communication of information.
4. Literature is
unique human activity that produce the creative thinking in mind in contain of
the human’s experience.
5. Literature is
writings that have beautiful word in every word and excellence which is based
on the human life which contained in oral or written.
6. Literature
is written works (such as poems, plays, and novels) that are considered to be
very good and to have lasting importance.
7. Literature is
writing in which expression and form, in connection with ideas of permanent and
universal interest, are characteristic or essential features, as poetry,
novels, history, biography, and essays.
8. Literature is writing considered as 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.
9. Literature is a term used to describe written and sometimes spoken
material.
10.
Literature
is referred to as the entirety of written expression, with the restriction that
not every written document can be categorized as literature in the more exact
sense of the word (Klarer 2004:1).
11.
Literature is a creative writing by an
author with aesthetic values which makes literature regarded as an art.
So, from all of the definitions above we can conclude that
literature is a way and a medium for
human to expressing their feeling through art of writing.
