  What Is Literature: A Brief Survey of Answers
Literature is an imitation of nature that is executed not by copying nature directly but rather by imitating the works and techniques of previous writers who are somehow "closer" to nature and to the original.
Literature is an imitation which has been judged to have value over a period of centuries as a true but general reflection of human nature in a variety of real or imaginary circumstances.
Literature is "the best of what has been thought and written." Poetry, at least, is an imitation of a noble action and ought to impart pleasure by permitting a "vent in action" of emotions which would otherwise be stifling.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Irish Literature
Early Irish literature and the sagas relating to the pre-Christian period of Irish history abound with references to ogham writing, which was almost certainly of pagan origin, and which continued to be employed up to the Christianization of the island.
After the substantially pagan efforts may come the early Christian literature, especially the lives of the saints, which are both numerous and valuable, visions, homilies, commentaries on the Scriptures, monastic rules, prayers, hymns, and all possible kinds of religious and didactic poetry.
Above all it is hard to accuse of time-serving or of pusillanimity a poet who could imperil his popularity in England by such a vigorous melody as that in which he compares the oppression of Ireland to the captivity of the Jews and prophecies the destruction of her tyrant.

 American Literature and the Culture of Reprinting, 1834-1853 | McGill, Meredith L.
Restoring a political dimension to accounts of the economic grounds of antebellum literature, McGill unfolds the legal arguments and political struggles that produced an American "culture of reprinting" and held it in place for two crucial decades.
Through readings of the work of Dickens, Poe, and Hawthorne, McGill seeks both to analyze how changes in the conditions of publication made themselves felt at the level of literary form and to take the measure of what was lost as literary markets became centralized and literary culture became stratified in the early 1850s.
American Literature and the Culture of Reprinting, 1834-1853 delineates a distinctive literary culture that was regional in articulation and transnational in scope, while questioning the grounds of the startlingly recent but nonetheless powerful equation of the national interest with the extension of authors' rights.

 Exposing the modern: World's Fairs and American literary culture, 1853-1907
This dissertation establishes relationships between American realism, modernism, and material culture by exploring intersections between international expositions and literature from 1853 through 1907.
Focusing on three American writers who studied world's fairs--Walt Whitman, William Dean Howells, and Henry Adams--it argues that expositions circulated new forms of representation that American literature both imitated and resisted.
By reading their works in terms of exposition culture, this study foregrounds these writers' literary inconsistencies, mixed political allegiances, and emerging, if reluctant, modernism.
