The love of language is one of the main reasons why people read and
celebrate literature. Literature represents the very best of human expression
which some have faded from memory but remain relevant to our
contemporary human condition.
DEFINITION OF LITERATURE
The word literature (came from the Greek word litera which means
letter) is the art of written work, and is not confined to published sources
(although, under some circumstances, unpublished sources can also be
exempt). The word literature literally means "things made from letters" and
the term "letters" is sometimes used to signify "literature," as in the figures
of speech "arts and letters" and "man of letters."
Literature is defined as the total creative, imaginative durable writings
belonging to a given language or people of the past and the present.
Literature faithfully expresses and reproduces life in an artistic manner by
focusing on the significant human experience.(Prof. Radicon P. Bernarte,
PUP)
Literature as vital and dynamic force has played an important part in
the development of society and civilization. If we scan the pages of history,
we shall be amazed at the role it has played at different times in various
countries in shaping and influencing cultural development.
True literature is a faithful reproduction of life, executed in an artistic
pattern. (Philippine Literature, Teofilo del Castillo y Tuazon 1974)
. Literature may be classified according to a variety of systems,
including language, national origin, historical period, genre, and subject
matter
MEDIUM OF LITERATURE
Medium in art refers to the material or means which the artist uses to
objectify his feeling or thought: pigment in painting, stone, wood, and metal
in sculpture; various building materials in architecture; sound in music;
and body movements in the dance.
Authors and writers use words and language as their medium in
literature.
Literature and music are classified as auditory and time arts because
its medium can be heard and expressed in time. For example are the
folktales and folklores of Philippine ancient literature which were passed on
through the word of mouth from generation to generation.
