written works
Books and documents
Written works are texts produced through writing—books, articles, essays, poems, scripts, and other compositions preserved in written form.
The phrase often appears in legal and academic contexts: The course covers the written works of James Baldwin.
It encompasses anything from novels to technical manuals, distinguished from oral traditions or visual media.
