First published in 1969, Comparative Literature explores an area of interest rather than a special discipline. While Professor Gifford sets out to describe the character and purpose of comparative literary studies in the broadest possible terms, the particular value of his approach lies in seeing such studies as the natural product of any effort to understand modern poetry and contemporary literary movements. Among many questions Professor Gifford is especially concerned with the study of literature in translation, with the transatlantic character of modern literary experience, and with the importance of finding a place for Comparative Literature in the university.
This book will be useful for students of Comparative Literature and Literature in general.
