What is literature？There have been various attempts to define literature．In the widest sense，literature is just about anything written．Literature，as Robert Frost says，is a performance in words．It is the work of men who are particularly sensitive to the voice from their soul and then skillfully use language to make permanent their vision of life．Readers find meanings in the work or read for a sense of what an aspect of life means to the writer，and they also take delight in the way that the work has been constructed．Part of the pleasure in reading literature comes from watching the performance in words．Thus literature offers both pleasure and illumination．It enriches our lives and increases our capacities for understanding and communication．(https://www.daowen.com)
