What makes texts "literary"?
How well it ages
We consider them classics not simply because they are old, but because of
what they still mean
. These classics never run out of things to say; they are
never inapplicable
to our lives today.
Dolls House: 1879
The Importance of Beign Earnest: 1895
Disgrace: 1999
"Chronology creates the elements of past, present and future, serving the important purpose of cause and effect"
it’s driven by the ideas, themes, and concerns of the novelist, often producing a narrative that is at times
controversial
Dolls House: Feminist novel
The Importance of Beign Earnest: Victorian Society mocking
Disgrace: David's instinct following against what{s acceptable in society
"Literary works are those that have significantly complex and detailed literary devices particularly in metaphors and symbolism. Also important are chronology and psychological characterization"
Aesthetic of language over factual knowledge to cause emotional response on the reader and transmit a message through that experience
The importance of being Earnest, superficiality of language and plot and the consecuent humor are deemed to transmit the superficiality of the 19th centaury aristocracy
"A literary text is a piece of written material, such as a book or poem, that has the purpose of telling a story or entertaining, as in a fictional novel. Its primary function as a text is usually aesthetic, but it may also contain political messages or beliefs"
A doll´s house: ficctional plot derives in political message; petriarchal society opresses human expresion of people, not onlyh woman themselves.
Disgrace: power shifts within sociery and their dangerous transition
Dramatic events within these two plays (the notion of rape in Disgrace and hysterya and leaving of Nora in A doll´s house) are used only with the purpose of highlighting the messages below.
However, non-literary texts are texts whose primary purpose is to convey information and do not have the same narrative and fictional elements as literary texts. ... Reading a literary text includes searching for motifs, metaphors, and symbolism
