The world of literature is a world where there is no reality except that of the human imagination. – Northrop Frye
Literature is the magic of words engraved upon the pages of books. It gives flight to imaginations and opens up a new world of literary exploration and creation by bibliophiles.
Weaving words together to give meaning and form to a thought is also an art. Not everyone can excel in it. Few are blessed to have that kind of a power which can move emotions and change people’s attitude and decisions with the help of just a few words.
If you think you have that kind of power, then literature is the course which you should opt for as your undergraduate major.
