Can anyone tell me what literature is?
Why are some written works considered to be literature and others not?

>>	Anonymous Wed Nov 23 21:11:56 2016 No.8758229 >>8758219 No, except Faulkner was a Southerner so he was by definition extra priviledged

>>	Anonymous Wed Nov 23 21:36:17 2016 No.8758296 >>8758198 Most of the authors considered to be classic lit, even if they were white, usually weren't well educated and came from pretty underprivileged back grounds.

>>	Anonymous Wed Nov 23 22:54:23 2016 No.8758484 Literature is a title bestowed by universities once enough academics have written on a work or author. It basically means "worthy of critical attention for internal merit and not just sociological/cultural study."
