Okay, this post talk about introduction to Literature, I
got it from my majority and I’ll try to
share with you. Do yo know what is Literature??
Literature will talk about “sastra” such as Prose( Novel,
etc), Poetry (poem) and Drama. Here I am gonna give some definision of
Literature, they are :
1.
According Pickering, James H & Hoeper, Jeffrey D
" the
creation of literature is a uniquely human activity, born of man's timeless
desire to understand, express, and finally share experiences, (1981. 01:307)".
2.
Rebecca West
Literature is "
Literature must be an analysis ofexperience and a synthesis of the findings into a unity" (Rebecca West).
3.
The Latin litteratura meaning
Literature is a term used to describe
written and sometimes spoken material. Derived from the Latin litteratura meaning
"writing formed with letters," literature most commonly refers to
works of the creative imagination, including poetry, drama, fiction,
nonfiction, journalism, and in some instances, song.
4.
Terry Eagleton
“Literature transforms and
intensifies ordinary language, deviates systematically from everyday speech”.
Literature is the creation of another world,
a world that we can only see through reading literature.
6.
The 11th edition of Merriam-Webster’s Collegiate
Dictionary
literature to be “writings having excellence of form or expression and expressing ideas
of permanent or universal interest.”
7.
Literature is something that reflects
society, makes us think about ourselves and our society, allows us to enjoy
language and beauty, it can be didactic, and it reflects on “the human
condition”.
8.
Literature is writings
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.
9.
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.
10.
Literature is a term used to describe
written or spoken material. Broadly speaking, “Literature” is used to describe
writing to more technical or scientific works, but the term is most commonly
used to refer to works of creative imagination, including works of Poetry,
drama, fiction, and nonficton.
From 10
definison above, we can conclude that Literature is writings that have a beautiful word and excellence which
is based on the human condition, life.
