Description

A comprehensive survey of comparative literature in a global age, Comparing the Literatures offers a fresh perspective on the field's development and its prospects in an era of rapid change. David Damrosch integrates key perspectives to provide a broad overview of comparative studies, exploring both institutional forces and the work of influential comparatists. From Johann Gottfried Herder to contemporary scholars like Franco Moretti and Emily Apter, this book examines how different strands of comparison have intertwined over time. With examples ranging from classical literature to internet art, Damrosch shows how the main approaches to comparative analysis have evolved. By understanding the achievements, contradictions, and failures of comparative literature, readers can develop creative responses to today's most important questions and debates. This book is a valuable resource for scholars and teachers seeking to navigate the expanding literary universe and rethink their methods in light of globalization.
