Description
The term 'literary fiction' came into common use in the early 1960s. It is primarily used to distinguish 'serious fiction'—works that are considered to have literary value—from genre fiction and popular fiction. The word 'literature' is sometimes used to refer to this category, though it can also describe a broader range of written works.
