Abstract or Introduction
This essay focuses on the nature of literature, and primarily its relationship with human identity and contemporary society. The focal element of the inquiry will be the consideration of literature functioning as a cynosural social conscience, and the extent to which it defines, affects and reflects collaborative social identity whilst remaining a non-cognisant ‘entity’ in its own right.
