Literature
Literature, most generically, is any body of written works. More restrictively, literature writing is considered to be an art form, or any single writing deemed to have artistic or intellectual value, often due to deploying language in ways that differ from ordinary usage.
Literature

Orson Scott Card, Quo Vadis? (Published in Nebula Awards Showcase 2008)
Literature

Literature

William Ellery Channing, p. 385.
