Literature is written expression by writers /authors in a socio-historical domain characterized by the stylistics in the language .They may adopt a form,content & style of the classical genre or in sub genres that overlap in a socio-cultural movements and change in environment and language with distinct rhetoric . It is possible for an American citizen to write in English language or in any language to present a literature of a particular region.
In addition, English literature is known for its dry wit, emphasis on manners and differences between the classes, and stressing theme and style over plot and characterization. American literature is usually much more character-driven and plot-driven, and is often more realistic in its depictions of ordinary people in extraordinary circumstances.The former in fiction and the later in novels.
