	Adultery - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Adultery is generally defined as consensual sexual intercourse by a married person with someone other than his or her lawful spouse.
		In the original Napoleonic Code, a man could ask to be divorced from his wife if she committed adultery, but the adultery of the husband was not a sufficient motive unless he had kept his concubine in the family home.
		According to biblical halakha, where adultery is forbidden in the seventh commandment, the penalty is stoning for both the man and the woman.

	literature
		Literature is literally "an acquaintance with letters" as in the first sense given in the Oxford English Dictionary; the term has, however, generally come to identify a collection of texts.
		The word "literature" spelled with a lower-case "l" can refer to any form of writing, such as essays; while "Literature" spelled with an upper-case "L" may refer to a whole body of literary work, world-wide or relating to a specific culture.
		Typically though, poetry as a form of literature makes some significant use of the formal properties of the words it uses — these properties being attached to the written or spoken form of the words, rather than to their meaning.

	Literature in the Modern Language Syllabus
		Firstly, literature courses, once the staple diet of a foreign language degree, are becoming less popular as compared to non-literary modules on offer such as media and communication courses or socio-historically based options.
		Secondly, the literature, which is taught often tends to be restricted to that of the twentieth century.
		If literature is seen in terms of actively gaining experience, rather than the passive process of an unwilling encounter with a self-contained fictional world, the literature of all ages and places can potentially become relevant to the reader once more.

		Illustrated stories, hypertexts, cave paintings and inscribed monuments have all at one time or another pressed the boundaries of what is and isn't literature.
		A great deal of historical writing can still be called literature, as can a great deal of journalism; but these areas have become extremely large, and often their purpose is just utilitarian: to record data or convey immediate information.
		As a result the writing in these fields isn't as a rule literary, although it often and in its better moments is. Major historians include Herodotus, Thucydides, Procopius, all of whom are considered canonical literary figures.

		Murder is a theme of even more literature than adultery, but does that somehow mean murder is "important to European values?" In fact, crime is the theme of most literature, you can't really have literature without some sort of crime in it.
