Artworks and Literature Libraries
Like art, literature has been an integral part of all cultures in the world since the beginning of time. It too has served as one of the purest forms of personal expression and has been used as a means of both historical and societal reference. Literature was once considered to include all forms of writing, but it pertains more often in the modern world to the literary genres of drama, epic, lyric, novel and poetry. Literature can also be categorized according to that of a particular culture as well as to such theories and techniques as literary criticism, versification and narrative and dramatic devices. The links in this section provide resources on literature and artworks that are housed at libraries and archives throughout the world.
