QUES: The value judgement definition of literature considers it to exclusively include writing that possesses high quality or distinction, forming part of the so-called belles-lettres ('fine writing') tradition. This is the definition used in the Encyclopdia Britannica Eleventh Edition (191011) when it classifies literature as "the best expression of the best thought reduced to writing."
