Japanese literature - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (2080 words) |
 | Although Japanese literature and Japanese authors are perhaps not as well known in the west as those in the European and American canons, Japan possesses an ancient and rich literary tradition that draws upon a millennium and a half of written records. |
| Literature during this time was written during the largely peaceful Tokugawa Period (commonly referred to as the Edo Period). |

| Literature - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (2758 words) |
| Literature is literally "acquaintance with letters" as in the first sense given in the Oxford English Dictionary (from the Latin littera meaning "an individual written character (letter)"). |
| Critics may exclude works from the classification "literature", for example, on the grounds of a poor standard of grammar and syntax, of an unbelievable or disjointed story-line, or of inconsistent or unconvincing characters. |
| Deep thematic content is not required in literature; however, some readers would say that all stories inherently project some kind of outlook on life that can be taken as a theme, regardless of whether or not this is the intent of the author. |
