Description
We know literature when we see it. The novels you were assigned to read in high school such as
The Grapes of Wrath or To Kill a Mockingbird are literature; the poems of Langston Hughes and United
States Poet Laureate Joy Harjo are literature; Romeo and Juliet is literature. But what happens when
we encounter texts that are not somehow granted special status in our culture as “required reading”?
Are movies and television shows literature? What about video games? Songs? Fan fiction? What is
literature, really?
