Synopsis
Excerpt from Comparative Literature
Colonies would do much to secure the steady progress of this vast study, which must depend on the co-operation of many scholars. The harvest truly is plenteous but the labourers, as yet, are few.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book challenges assumptions that art is merely an imitation of masterpieces and that its ideals can exist outside of particular conditions of human character or language in a given group. It argues that literary history has been confused by the indiscriminate use of the general term âliterature,â which privileges Western literature over non-Classical traditions and obscures diversity of form and meaning. To understand literature, we must abandon the notion that it is a universal, timeless entity, and instead, understand it as linked to particular historical and social contexts. The book provides examples from various cultures to demonstrate that literary ideals such as character, morality, and beauty are inseparably linked to the real-world experience of particular peoples and can only be fully understood when we place them in their broader social, historical, and geographical contexts. This book offers an innovative and thought-provoking look at how the interplay of literature and its context brings new dimensions to our understanding of humanity through history and across cultures. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781330400418_0
