Many {{trope}}s originated in literary works. Literature being nearly as old as writing itself, most of TheOldestOnesInTheBook date to the classics, most {{Public Domain Character}}s appeared in print well before the first TV broadcasts, and even today, with the supposedly dwindling popularity of books in favor of more modern media, there are books with enough cultural impact to spawn TVTropes.
