Literature is literally "an acquaintance with letters", as in the first sense given in the Oxford English Dictionary (from the Latin littera meaning "an individual written character").
The word "literature" as a common noun can refer to any form of writing, such as essays; "Literature" as a proper noun refers to a whole body of literary work.
The history of literature begins with the history of writing, in Bronze Age Mesopotamia and Ancient Egypt, although the oldest literary texts that have come down to us date to a full millennium after the invention of writing, to the late 3rd millennium BC.

 Chronological Survey of Gay Literature
Yet to date, no single volume has brought together the full history of literature from poetry, fiction, essays, and autobiography that portray love between men.
While other anthologies have focused primarily on poetry, drama, or fiction, this volume is the first to include a full range of genres.
