Literature is literally "an acquaintance with letters" (as in the first sense given in the Oxford English Dictionary), but has generally come to identify a collection of texts.
For example, the works of Charles Dickens are perceived by almost everyone as being "literature", whereas the works of Jeffrey Archer tend to be looked down on as unworthy of inclusion under the general heading of English literature.
Poetry is perhaps the oldest form of literature: The Sumerian Epic of Gilgamesh dates from around 3000 B.C.; the Bible and the works of Homer, the Iliad and the Odyssey.

 Literature - Free net encyclopedia
Literature is literally "acquaintance with letters" as in the first sense given in the Oxford English Dictionary (from the Latin littera meaning "an individual written character (letter)").
Critics may exclude works from the classification "literature", for example, on the grounds of a poor standard of grammar and syntax, of an unbelievable or disjointed story-line, or of inconsistent or unconvincing characters.
Some recent philosophy works are argued to merit the title "literature", such as some of the works by Simon Blackburn; but much of it does not, and some areas, such as logic, have become extremely technical to a degree similar as that of mathematics.

 Cycle of Scientific Literature - CAS Library
One of the most important stages in the cycle of scientific literature is the writing and dissemination of journal articles.
The cycle continues as the results of research presented first in journal articles are later refined and summarized for a wider audience (students, general readers) in edited volumes (such as annual reviews) and textbooks.
The cycle represents all the possible types of scientific literature produced in the course of scientific work, not the results of a single project.

 Summary of Panel Findings
The general trend in recent solar activity cycles (Figure 1) is toward larger amplitude sunspot cycles; Cycle 19 was the largest in recorded history (smoothed sunspot number maximum of 201 in March, 1958), and Cycle 22 was the third largest (smoothed maximum of 159 in July, 1989).
Cycles 21 and 22 both showed annual averages of geomagnetic activity that were large in comparison with most cycles in the record of aa indices (Figure 2).
While all cycles have multiple-maxima, even-numbered cycles tend to have a broad maximum late in the declining phase of the solar activity cycle attributed to a favorable orientation of the solar dipole (positive polarity in the northern solar hemisphere) which is oppositely directed to Earth's dipole field.

 The Hidden Church of the Holy Graal: Book I: IV. The Literature of the Cycle
Comparatively few documents of the whole cycle have reached us in their original form, even subsequently to that period at which the legends were taken over in a Christian interest, while many of them have been unified and harmonised so that they can stand together in a series.
The German cycle therefore differs in important respects from the French cycle; the central figure is a characteristic hero in each, but the central sacred object is different, the subsidiary persons are different in certain cases--or have at least undergone transformation--and, within limits, the purpose is apparently diverse.
The additamentum of this cycle is the fuller unprinted codex of the Didot Perceval preserved in the library at Modena.

In the characters' controlled society, "literature is banned because it might potentially incite people to think or to question the status quo of happiness and freedom from worry through the elimination of controversy." (Gale Literary Databases Contemporary Literature Criticism).
When at the top of the cycle, society is extremely intellectual and they orient their lives around education and expanding the mind.
Since no one challenged the cycle, society would sit at the bottom of it until someone finally understood what was going on and was brave enough to challenge the status quo.

 CORE: Development of Scientific Information
Although the development is not a truly linear process, information passes through various stages as it becomes part of the body of scientific literature.
In primary literature, current research supports and builds on the conclusions of past research.
After new findings are presented in primary literature, information is condensed and then reported in secondary sources (books, review articles in magazines and journals, annual reviews in edited books) for a more general audience like students.

 Literature Circles   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
Literature circles are small, student-led discussion groups whose members have chosen to read the same text (Daniels, 2002).
Literature circles incorporate features that can change the classroom climate to be more cooperative, responsible, and pleasurable while encouraging the growth of reading (Burns, 1998).
When using literature circles, students are able to make their own decisions about the material they read, when it will be read, and what will be discussed in their groups.

 Literature
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.

 Literature cycle Information   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
Literary cycles are groups of stories grouped around common figures, often (though not necessarily) based on mythical figures or loosely on historic ones.
One well known such cycle is the Arthurian cycle, the stories of King Arthur, Lancelot and the Knights of the Round Table.
Another cycle that is frequently drawn upon is centered on the Trojan War; the Iliad, the Odyssey, the Aeneid, and countless other epic poetry that draws on this body of tales.

 Literature reviewing and the research process
The literature review is often thought of as a stage in the research process, one that occurs early on in the research project and which has interactive relationship with the definition of the a research problem or set of research issues.
At subsequent levels the literature becomes more topic specific, for example you might be looking for literature of design management in museums, or design management in a particular country.
It is also the case that particular literature or information needs will arise during the course of a project, for example, when there is a change of direction, or when you decide to use a particular method.

 Business-Cycle Theories
The central idea of business-cycle literature, that the economy has regular and periodic waves--a cycle--lasting for several years, has few adherents today.
Perhaps such cycles never existed, or perhaps they once did but no longer do because the government now plays a large and active role in the economy.
However, the business-cycle approach remains useful because it is an easy way to introduce a number of macroeconomic topics, including the adjustment process that remains central in macroeconomics.

The publication cycle is the means by which ideas enter the body of knowledge and travel through it.
They do this by appearing in written form, thereby becoming accessible to other authors, possibly affecting their ideas and further contributing to the body of knowledge.
However, most people searching the literature for information want more detail and often require the further credibility that journal publication provides.
