 What is Genre?
“The first thing to observe is that a genre is not a rigid
mould which works must fit into, but a group, texts that
share certain similarities whether of form, performance
context, or subject matter. But although certain ‘core’
features characterize any given genre, the boundaries of
each genre and fluid and are often breached for effort.” –
Allan (2014)

 TEACHING LITERATURE
GENRES

Allan (2014) concludes in his article that we

can understand literary texts well if we
identify where the text comes from in terms
of genre and how it engages with the
individual and transforms the conventions it
inherits.
