Literals

This probably seems like a trivial question, but what is a "literal".
The term seems to be used numerous times throughout Practical Common
Lisp. Although it reads naturally throughout and has not held me up, I
am unsure what the precise definition of a literal is, in Common Lisp.
Any help would be great. Thanks.
