Abstract Although there are very many different types of definitions for "literature," it is widely accepted that throughout history, the term has been used to refer to creative works of poetry and prose that are differentiated from one another by the intents of their creators and the acknowledged superiority of their aesthetic qualities. Anthropology is the scientific study of people, intending to figure out how we have changed, what makes us unique as a species, and how different people have organized their social lives in different parts of the world and over time. Literary anthropology, as the name implies, investigates two distinct fields of study. The first will be a look at the role that literature plays in society and people's lives, with a focus on social, cultural, and historical contexts. The field of literary anthropology can be thought of as an investigation into the various types of expression that fall under the category of style and into how these categories can be understood to be associated with a historical particularity, a cultural analysis, social, and institutional theory. The merging of literary analysis with anthropological research yields a plethora of information on cultural norms, social practices, and religious convictions. The goal of this descriptive paper is to explain how anthropology and literature could possibly be related.
