    DEFINITION OF LITERATURE

    1. According to Wellek and Warren (Faruk 2014: 43) “literature is an innovative,


    imaginative, and fictional work. According to both, the reference to literary works is
    not the real world, but the world of fiction, imagination.”

    2. Supardi (Ismawati 2011: 165) states, "Literature is an imaginary world composed of


    words, the world of words means characters, events, time or place where events occur
    only in words."

    3. According to Horatius in Endraswara, (2013:116) “Literature should contain dulce


    (beautiful) and utile (useful). This means that literature is not only based on the
    satisfaction of the author or writer, but rather dominates the functions and benefits for
    readers through literary works produced by writers, both having an impact on the
    present, the future, and improving the old for the good future.”

    4. According to Luxemburg (1989: 5) “Literature is a creation, a creation, not only an


    imitation. In creating a literary work, the artist does not only express the aspect of
    beauty, but also expresses his opinion and thoughts on something.”

    5. Klarer (2002) states “Literature is referred to as the entirety of written expression


    with the restriction that not every written document can be categorized as literature in
    the more exact sense of the word.”

    6. Pickering, James H & Hoeper, Jeffrey D (1981. 01:307) says that "Literature is a
    uniquely human activity, born of man's timeless desire to understand, express, and
    finally share experiences.”

    based-on-expert.html?m=1

    7. Henry van Dyke says that “Literature consists of those writing which interpret the
    meanings of nature and life, in words of charm and power, touched with the
    personality of the author, in artistic forms of permanent interest.”

    based-on-expert.html?m=1

    8. According to Saryono (2009: 16-17) “Literature is not just an artifact (inanimate


    object), but literature is a living figure. As a living figure, literature develops
    dynamically accompanying other figures, such as politics, economy, art, and culture.”
