Literary Genres
Literature is an artistic expression that is difficult to conceptualize. To help us better understand it, in his Poetic Art, Aristotle defined what we call literary genres.

Gilda Radner

How did literary genres come about?
The classification of literary genres was proposed in classical antiquity by the Greek philosopher Aristotle (384 BC-322 BC) in his Poetic work. According to him:
The lyrical literary genre represented the “sung word” since, in the past, literary texts were recited and accompanied by musical instruments.
The epic genre meant the “narrated word.” It portrayed the glorious events of a hero in extensive poems called epics. Over time, this genre has expanded, and today, it is called “narrative.”
The dramatic genre symbolized the “represented word” and brought together texts written for a play.
We interpret the world through stories… everybody makes sense of things in their own way, but if you have stories, it helps.
