There are many different genres in literature. A few examples of the different genres are fiction, non fiction, autobiography, biography. Then there are sup genres like historical fiction.Literature is generally broken down into two main branches. These are poetry and prose. The branches further divided into fiction, nonfiction, drama and folklore.

Most literature can be placed into one of three categories: fiction, poetry or drama. Fiction includes novels and short stories, works written in prose that do not have a set meter or rhyme scheme. Poetry, on the other hand, can have a specific meter and rhyme scheme, though these are not required. Poetry is most easily distinguished from prose by its length and its use of imagery and figurative language. Drama can be in either prose or poetry and is written to be performed. There are many sub-genres within each of these categories.

Timeline of Literature Poetry is the oldest known form of literature. For

example, much of the Bible is written in verse. The oldest known poem in English is most likely "The Dream of the Rood" from either the 7th Century or 8th Century. Drama was the next literary development and many of the oldest plays are merely poems that were performed. Novels and short stories are the latest addition to the literary scene. Many scholars credit Aphra Benn with writing the first novel, entitled "Oronooko," in the 18th Century. The short story as a specific art form developed later, in the 19th Century, and many scholars believe Edgar Allen Poe perfected the genre.
