English Literature is the body of writing originally created in English—from Beowulf to Zadie Smith—while Literature in English is any text, regardless of birthplace, written and read in the English language.

JAR (Java ARchive) is a single ZIP file bundling Java classes, resources, and metadata for standalone or micro-service deployment.
