Who Decides What is Literature?
Who was one of the first?
Historically speaking, kings, queens, publishers, literary critics, professors, colleges, and readers (like you!) have decided which works survive and which works do not.
Aristotle was one of the first writers to attempt to decide what works fall into the category of literature, and what works do not. While Aristotle was most famous for his contributions to science and philosophy, he is also considered one of the first literary critics.
•A literary critic is a person who studies and analyzes literature.
•A literary critic produces scholarship called literary criticism.
•When a work is officially determined to constitute literature, it enters something called the Canon.
•A work that falls into this designation is called canonical.
One of the most exciting aspects of reading and analyzing literature is that you can take part in canon formation. What you read, write about, and share with your friends can help propel works into the canon that would otherwise fade from history into the canon.
Why is it important to write out a eulogy?

What is the difference between poetry and prose?

American poet Robert Frost said shrewdly that poetry was what got left behind in translation, which suggests a criterion of almost scientific refinement: when in doubt, translate; whatever comes through is prose, the remainder is poetry.
