A literary grouping is a term used to describe a collection of works that share similar characteristics. GENRE is a type of literary grouping that is defined by the style, form, or content of the work. Genres can include fiction, non-fiction, poetry, drama, and more. Genres are often divided into sub-genres, such as science fiction, fantasy, horror, romance, and so on. Literary groupings can also be based on other factors, such as the author's nationality, the time period in which the work was written, or the subject matter.
