The following outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to literature: Literature – prose, written or oral, including fiction and non-fiction, drama and poetry. ''See also: outline of poetry.'' == What ''type'' of thing is literature? == Literature can be described as all of the following: * Communication – activity of conveying information. Communication requires a sender, a message, and an intended recipient, although the receiver need not be present or aware of the sender's intent to communicate at the time of communication; thus communication can occur across vast distances in time and space. * * Written communication (writing) – representation of language in a textual medium through the use of a set of signs or symbols (known as a writing system).〔Peter T. Daniels, "The Study of Writing Systems", in ''The World's Writing Systems'', ed. Bright and Daniels, p. 3〕 * Subdivision of culture – shared attitudes, values, goals, and practices that characterizes an institution, organization, or group. * * One of the arts – imaginative, creative, or nonscientific branch of knowledge, especially as studied academically.〔(the arts ).
