    1.1: What is Literature?
    1
    1. SPesquera 25 Jan 2021
      Certainly, works of literature are up for debate: that is the quintessential question literary scholars might ask. What makes certain literary works survive the test of time? What makes a story, poem, or drama "good"? While literary scholars are less interested in proving a certain work is "good" or not -- and more focused on analyzing the ways to illuminate a given work

      What is and isn't literature is up for debate and as some suggested, almost anything can qualify as literature. What is "good" to one critic may not be to another. I don't think there can ever be a true consensus regarding this because of the differences of opinion.
