-a literary genre is a category of ‘literary composition’-
.
(‘genres’ may be determined by ‘literary technique’, ‘tone’, ‘content’, or even (as in the case of fiction) ‘length’)
(the distinctions between ‘genres’ and ‘categories’ are flexible and loosely defined, often with subgroups)
(the most general ‘genres’ in literature are (in loose chronological order) ‘epic’, ‘tragedy’, ‘comedy’, and ‘creative nonfiction’)
(they can all be in the form of ‘prose’ or ‘poetry’)
(additionally, a genre such as ‘satire’, ‘allegory’, or ‘pastoral’ might appear in any of the above, not only as a ‘subgenre’, but as a mixture of genres)
(finally, they are defined by the general cultural movement of the historical period in which they were composed)
(‘genre’ should not be confused with age categories, by which literature may be classified as either ‘adult’, ‘young adult’, or ‘children’)
(they also must not be confused with ‘format’, such as ‘graphic novel’ or ‘picture book’)
