Genre groups authors by the kind of writing they became known for. Wikipedia notes Jane Austen's six novels "implicitly interpret, critique, and comment on the English landed gentry," work that placed her squarely within social and domestic fiction rather than adventure or verse. This dimension gathers authors who worked mainly in the same genre.

The earliest texts date from the second half of the 8th century: translation aids (glosses and glossaries) for those learning to read Latin and translations of Latin Christian texts (prayers, creeds, confessions) for use in missionary or pastoral work among the lay population.
