Key Words : Literature, parameters, appealing power, Suggestivity, universality, contemporaneousness and public welfare etc.
ABSTRACT
Literature is a term used to describe written and sometimes spoken material that is artistic, appealing, suggestive, universal and thought provoking. lt must be judged through its contents coloured with imagination and poetic forms. It must also have some deeper purpose, contemporaneousness and public welfare. In short, literature is an artistic expression of thoughts, feelings and emotions of the author.
Etymologically, the term ‛literature’ has been derived from the Latin word “literatura / litteratura” which means ‛writing formed with letters.’ In simple words, literature is the combination of fact and fiction. It may be totally factual or fictional or the combination of the both. 'Factual' means real, actual and true while ‛fictional’ means imaginative.
The literary value is multi-faceted, unfathomable and immense encompassing various dimensions such as aesthetic, emotional, cultural and intellectual aspects. It also involves how the work explores universality, employs linguistic and structural effectiveness and contributes to various literary standards, cultural contexts and intellectual perspectives. The ways of evaluating a piece of literature may be varied depending on the nature, quality and quantity of the creation concerned, but some of the general parameters of the literary value of a work are as follows:
1. Artistic expression
2. Appealing power
3. Suggestivity
4. Universality along with timelessness or permanence
5. Thought provoking expression
6. Contents coloured with imagination and poetic forms
7. A tinge of deep purpose, contemporaneousness and public welfare.
