Literature….

Literature , a body of written works. The name has traditionally been

applied to those imaginative works of poetry and prose distinguished
by the intentions of their authors and the
perceived aesthetic excellence of their execution. Literature may be
classified according to a variety of systems, including language, national
origin, historical period, genre, and subject matter. “writings having
excellence of form or expression and expressing ideas of permanent or
universal interest.”

Drama….
In literature, a drama is the portrayal of fictional or non-fictional events
through the performance of written dialog (either prose or poetry).
Dramas can be performed on stage, on film, or the radio. Dramas are
typically called plays, and their creators are known as “playwrights” or
“dramatists.” In literature, the word drama defines a genre, or style of
writing. Drama is a play that can be performed for theatre, radio or
even television. These plays are usually written out as a script, or a
written version of a play that is read by the actors but not the
audience. This is where theatre comes in.

greatest achievements in both drama and music.

William Shakespeare.
