I took the question of what is literature to an even more basic form that is so simple mot people will argue with it. I put that literature is printed words. This could mean books, novels, poems, newspaper, pamphlets, magazines, etc. but I don’t just take the word literature at face value or just literally. I think that song lyrics are literature in a spoken, sung form. Movies and TV shows all started as words on the page. Even speeches, personal diaries and student essays are all literature. Basically, the ideology I have behind the word is that literature is in the mind of the beholder. I think we would be better served to answer “what is not literature”.
