Course summary

Comparative Literature is the study of common features in the literatures of more than one culture. It can focus on a genre, a period or a theme, or it can focus very broadly on the materials of literature itself - structure, rhetoric or language. With such a broad focus, Comparative Literature defines itself in terms of theory and method. Students can use a Comparative Literature background in a variety of ways. Generally speaking, anyone who is professionally interested in the interpretation of the written or spoken word - whether lawyer, businessperson, writer or humanities professor can profit from the theory and methods of comparative literature.
