A section on definitions and distinctions investigates literature and literary study literary hypothesis and literary criticism. First of each(prenominal) it is prerequisite for us to know the definition of literary conjecture, and literary criticism. Nevertheless, the distinctions between literary theory, criticism, and history are the most important Literary theory is the study of the principles of literature, its categories, criteria, and the like.
