  Why We Teach Literature
One of the two camps was labeled the academic tradition, in which the treatment of literature in the curriculum was shaped by the science of philology, and the reading of every literary work had to be justified on the grounds of its contribution to the students' understanding of the logic and stylistics of literature.
Literature will contribute to their ability to understand others and to transcend differences if students read about people with problems like their own: people making life choices in circumstances of uncertainty, people searching for ideals in an increasingly materialistic world, people seeking to relate to others across cultural boundaries.
Secondly, it was suggested that a major value of literature is to give readers constructs--words, metaphors, images, and plots--with which to understand what would otherwise seem to be the random phenomena of human experience; and that a complementary value was the power of literature to nourish and educate the imagination.

 The Art of Literature (Rexroth's Encyclopaedia Britannica article)
To use the word writing when describing literature is itself misleading, for one may rightly speak of “oral literature” or “the literature of preliterate peoples.” The art of literature is not reducible to the words on the page; they are there because of the craft of writing.
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.
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.

 William B. Husband | 'Correcting Nature's Mistakes': Transforming the Environment and Soviet Children's Literature, ...
I argue that as much as children's literature promoted the radical transformation of nature—defined simplistically and largely by implication in mass propaganda as the physical environment plus its nonhuman inhabitants—it also strongly endorsed a scientific approach toward exploiting a resource that held the key to a better material life for humans.
Soviet era histories of children's literature erroneously posited (and some uncritical Western works later accepted) both the originality of Bolshevik children's literature and its ongoing ideological consistency, but a closer reading of the content reveals that such was not the case.
Literature should not preach to the young, she maintained, but impart knowledge, love of reading, and the foundation of emotional life.

 Molding the Minds of the Young: ...
Crosse warned in 1928, "For, in literature, as in life, there are two forms of expression -- constructive or destructive, elevating or debasing; and, unfortunately, the immature often do not know the difference and many read with avidity the most demoralizing subject matter" (
The "immature" that she referred to, of course, were adolescents; and, as an example of the dangers of destructive literature, she tells the story of an observant psychologist who saw a pretty girl on the street one day.
By 1940, professionals were starting to address the concerns of the adolescent rather than the concerns of the adolescent's parents, and this shift can be seen in the numerous studies and conferences during this time that treat the adolescent in a somewhat sentimental manner.
