Literature, is divided into the classic three forms of Ancient Greece, "poetry, drama, and prose"
Divisons of Literature are: oral or spoken, printed or written literature If you are asking about how literature is passed along, the division is between spoken word and printed text. There is also a major division between those books that are created through imagination, fiction, and those based on true facts, non-fiction. One could also say that literature is divided into two categories, namely poetry and prose. The two main divisions of literature are prose and poetry. They are fiction and non-fiction. poetry and prose ^_^ Literature's Three main divisions . When most people speak of literature they may be talking about short stories, novels, poems, verse, odes, plays, tragedies, even limericks. This wide variety of terms describing types of literature, at first, appears overwhelming. However figuring all of this out is simplified when you take into account that the menagerie of types begins with three major paradigms: prose, poetry, and drama. Prose Prose is derived from a Latin root word, prosa , that means "straightforward" (other scholars argue that the root for "prose" is proversa oratio, which means " straightforward discourse." Prose is generally defined as direct, common language presented in a straightforward manner. A victim of identity by negation, prose is frequently defined as "that which is not poetry." Prose demonstrates purposeful grammatic design in that it is constructed strategically by the author to create specific meaning. Prose also contains plot and the attendant narrative structures of plot. In most cultures, prose narrative tends to appear after a culture has developed verse . Prose genres are many and varied, ranging from science fiction to romance. The major generic divisions of prose are: . novel - A lengthy fictional prose narrative. . novella - A fictional prose narrative ranging from 50 to 100 pages, most common in science fiction and detective fiction. . short story - a brief fictional prose narrative. . anecdote - A very brief account of some interesting, usually humorous, event. Poetry Poetry , from the Greek poetes which means "doer" or "creator," is a catch-all term that is applied to any form of rhythmical or metrical composition. While poetry is considered to be a subset of verse (and also considered to be superior to verse) both are rhythmical/metrical.
