Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

A literary source is anything that has been "written" that you cite as your source material!. It could be a poem, an historical document, a private letter, a book, a short story, a magazine article, an analysis that has been published, etc!. If you were doing a report on Abraham Lincoln, your literary sources could include letters, newspaper articles, historical documents, books written about him, psychoanalytical papers written on him, etc!. So the "source" is just that, "where" you got your information, and if it is a "literary" source, it's where you found the "written" information (as opposed to a "personal source" or "verbal source")!.
