Literature, besides being a form of art used for expression, preserves customs, morals, and cultural ideals. The written word gives people a deeper context of the lives and livelihoods of people, places, and events (Kronick, 23).

Each generation adds its experiences to literary accounts and passes on to the next one. For instance, people can learn and imagine, with accuracy, as much about the life and times of William Shakespeare by interacting with his literature and that of ancient ...
