Literature is the full body of all written works organized into an art form and includes all of the following: (1) prose fiction, drama, and poetry; (2) transcribed folk tales and oral traditions; and (3) non-fictional works such as biographies, diaries, essays, memoirs, and letters. Literary works may be published in the form of books, articles, or other printed materials, and distributed and proliferated by any number of mechanical or electronic means. Literature is a major method of recording, preservation, and transmission for the world's knowledge and entertainment.
This user-made vital articles sublist includes 2,036 subjects related to literature for which I personally believe the English Wikipedia should have corresponding articles. Articles are labeled based on their quality as outlined below.
