It argues that literary works are essential to understanding any society, since, as social scientists have noted, genuine knowledge of a people's civic life is impossible without deep engagement with their authentic literature. The text goes on to introduce a basic framework for literature itself, defining it as a verbal art and distinguishing its two primary forms: poetry, which is bound by meter and rhyme, and prose, which is not.
