A literature review is a description of relevant published knowledge from a particular field or selected topic/s. Reviewing accumulated knowledge is an essential early step in the research process. Your purpose in writing the literature review is to convey to your reader not only what knowledge and ideas have been established on a topic but also what the strengths and weaknesses are for each particular piece of reviewed literature.
