This introductory volume provides an accessible overview of the history of 'Literature' as a cultural concept, and reflects on the contemporary nature, place and function of what the literary might mean for us today. This volume:
* offers a concise history of the canonic concept of 'literature' from its earliest origins
* illustrates the kinds of theoretical issues which are currently invoked by the term 'literary'
* promotes the potential 'uses of the literary' within an millennial culture
With Literature Peter Widdowson provides a thought provoking essay on the contemporary relevance of the 'literary' for students.
