Description

Comparative Literature explores an 'area of interest' rather than a special discipline. The book begins with an account of the approaches thattwentieth century writers took to literature by writers other than themselves. It discusses the common tone shared by those who subscribe to a national tradition, and considers what is meant by 'the mind of Europe'. Itponders the problems of translation, and discusses the nature of comparative study at university.
