| The Scope of Literature (9637 words) |
| Literature, like music, is an art of time, or "tempo": it takes time to read or listen to, and it usually presents events or the development of ideas or the succession of images or all these together in time. |
| The craft of literature, indeed, can be said to be in part the manipulation of a structure in time, and so the simplest element of marking time, rhythm, is therefore of basic importance in both poetry and prose. |
| Popular literature today is produced either to be read by a literate audience or to be enacted on television or in the cinema; it is produced by writers who are members, however lowly, of an elite corps of professional literates. |
