1. Learning; acquaintance with letters or books.
2. The collective body of literary productions, embracing the entire results of knowledge and fancy preserved in writing; also, the whole body of literary productions or writings upon a given subject, or in reference to a particular science or branch of knowledge, or of a given country or period; as, the literature of Biblical criticism; the literature of chemistry.

4. The occupation, profession, or business of doing literary work. Lamp.
Syn. -- Science; learning; erudition; belles-lettres. See Science. -- Literature, Learning, Erudition. Literature, in its widest sense, embraces all compositions in writing or print which preserve the results of observation, thought, or fancy; but those upon the positive sciences (mathematics, etc. ) are usually excluded. It is often confined, however, to belles-lettres, or works of taste and sentiment, as poetry, eloquence, history, etc. , excluding abstract discussions and mere erudition. A man of literature (in this narrowest sense ) is one who is versed in belles-lettres; a man of learning excels in what is taught in the schools, and has a wide extent of knowledge, especially, in respect to the past; a man of erudition is one who is skilled in the more recondite branches of learned inquiry. The origin of all positive science and philosophy, as well as of all literature and art, in the forms in which they exist in civilized Europe, must be traced to the Greeks. Sir G. Lewis. Learning thy talent is, but mine is sense. Prior. Some gentlemen, abounding in their university erudition, fill their sermons with philosophical terms. Swift.

Defn: A learned man; a man acquainted with literature; -- chiefly used in the plural. Now we are to consider that our bright ideal of a literatus may chance to be maimed. De Quincey.

American Oxford Thesaurus
literate
literate adjective 1 many of the workers were not literate: able to read /write, educated, schooled. ANTONYMS illiterate. 2 her literate friends: educated, well-educated, well-read, widely read, scholarly, learned, knowledgeable, lettered, cultured, cultivated, sophisticated, well-informed. ANTONYMS ignorant. 3 he was computer literate: knowledgeable, well-versed, savvy, smart, conversant, competent; informal up on, up to speed on. ANTONYMS ignorant. WORD NOTE literate "Not least, the prose is brisk, charming, and literate. " How often a writer intends this last adjective as a compliment, an accolade of the order of calling the style elegant and witty. But to praise an author's prose as literate is to offer faint praise at best. Sentences should always be literate —isn't that the rock-bottom desideratum of any writing? Moreover, the term is vague. Does it mean readable? That all the words in the sentences are properly spelled? Or is it a synonym for educated? Rather than resorting to this wan assertion of mere competence, as if the jowly novelist under review was still learning his letters from a hornbook, try to describe the actual style: This is prose that works hard to be amiable, almost good-neighborly, one working stiff jawing with another under the backyard shade trees. Better too much color and precision than the wearily ho-hum and lukewarm. — MD Conversational, opinionated, and idiomatic, these Word Notes are an opportunity to see a working writer's perspective on a particular word or usage.
