1. Introduction to the Study of Philippine Literature

Literature is the artistic expression of profound thoughts, which is replete with spontaneous and intense passions, imaginative ideas and reflective viewpoints of the literary men. It is exposed in such an untechnical form as to make it more comprehensible, giving aesthetic pleasure and relief to the mind of the common man. According to Lord Morely, “Literature consists of all the books where moral truth and human passion are touched with a certain largeness, sanity and attraction of form” . In other words, literature heightens our awareness of human life. It enhances our vision of life and we begin to look at nature with new eyes. It interprets with ornamental language the experiences and spiritual intuitions of man. Literature appeals us greatly due to its essential features including thought, feeling, imagination and beauty of style and form etc.
