COMMENTS.
Literature, as an art form, is six (6) genre types:
1. Cinema.
2. Fiction.
3. Nonfiction.
4. Drama.
5. Poetry.
6 Folktales.
Five of these literary genres originated in Oral Prehistory; but, cinematic literature originated in modern times. Writing began in 3,500 BC and Celluloid Film in 1900’s for Cinema.
