Forgot about a tragedy, so I added it. --68.123.224.170 20:57, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
I attempted to convert it to use {{sidebar}}, plus alphabetized the contents, and split up the "History and lists" section, but I'm not sure if it's a clear (~100%) improvement. (Original on left, Conversion on right). I've copied the code below, for further tweaking attempts, or feedback. -- Quiddity (talk) 23:52, 14 August 2012 (UTC)

The novella a major form? Really? The novel a major form, when it's only been around for 300 years? Drama is both a major form and a genre? Prose and poetry are "techiques"? Whatever is this list based on? Certainly not on 2,500 years of literary theory. This needs a serious rethink on the basis of authoritative works on the subject. I suggest starting with the fundamental division between Lyric, Drama and Epic. --Pfold (talk) 22:16, 13 February 2014 (UTC)

The Classic of Rites was one of the Five Classics of Confucianism; it described social forms, ancient rites, and court ceremonies. - I fail to see how it has anything to do with what western notions of literature are about - JarrahTree 07:27, 19 January 2017 (UTC)
