The Knowing of Literature.
- Authors
Cochran, Terry
- Abstract
This article gives an overview of the historical role of literature, and explains that since its not an object, defining literature has much to do with how it's conceived. It explains that literature was once a process of invention and expression, but in the 20th century it is used to strengthen the history it generates.
