Introduction: what is comparative literature Today ?JanviNakum
Abstract
There have been various definitions of comparative literature, which greatly varies from one scholar to another, but they all agree that it is one of the most modern literary sciences. Throughout the past two decades, new critical theories, such as gender-based criticism, translation studies, deconstruction and Orientalism, have changed approaches to literature and accordingly have had a profound impact on the work of the comparatists.
Sooner or later, anyone who claims to be working in comparative literature has to try and answer the inevitable question : What is it ? The simplest answer is that comparative literature involves the study of texts across cultures, that it is interdisciplinary and that it is concerned with patterns of connection in literature across both time and space.( Bassnett, p.1). "Everywhere there is connection, everywhere there is illustration," as Matthew Arnold puts it. According to Susan Bassnett, everybody who is interested in books is on the path to comparative literature.
Key Arguments
A comparative analysis you should have already read for different prominent writer for instance Chaucer, Shakespeare, Baudelaire, Poe, Joyce.
●Comparative Literature revolves around the study of literature outside the borders of one particular culture, the study of relations between literature on the one hand and other areas of human expression such as philosophy on the other hand. Critics have also related it to history as it examines the convergence (junction) of different literatures and its historical aspects of influence, considering that Comparative Literature is the essence of the history of literature, beyond the scope of one culture or language
●Another arguments is there west students of 1960 claimed that comparative literature could be put in single boundaries for comparative literature study, but she says that there is no particular method used for claiming.
●Critics at the end of the twentieth century, in the age of postmodernism, still wrestle with the same questions that were posed more than a century ago :
What is the object of the study in comparative literature?
How can comparison be the objective of anything?
If individual literatures have canon, what might a comparative canon be?
How can be comparatist select what to compare ?
Is comparative literature a discipline? Or is it simply a field of study ?
Introduction: What is comparative Literature Today ?
Susan Bassnett says that most of the people do not start with comparative literature but they end up with it in some way or other. Generally, we, first start reading the text and then we arrive at comparison. I mean to say, we start comparing that text with another that has similarities and dissimilarities. Comparative Literature emerged in 19th century. Comparative Literature is different from national literature, general literature and world literature. It was begun as “Literature Compare” in 1860 in Germany.
Matthew Arnold (24 December 1822 – 15 April 1888) was an English poet and cultural critic who worked as an inspector of schools. He was the son of Thomas Arnold, the famed headmaster of Rugby School, and brother to both Tom Arnold, literary professor, and William Delafield Arnold, novelist and colonial administrator.
During this time Arnold wrote the bulk of his most famous critical works, Essays in Criticism (1865) and Culture and Anarchy (1869), in which he sets forth ideas that greatly reflect the predominant values of the Victorian era.

"For poetry the idea is everything; the rest is a world of illusion, of divine illusion. Poetry attaches its emotion to the idea; the idea is fact."
This is said by Matthew Arnold. According to him, IDEA is supreme and in poetry, it is the idea that matters, that are attached by poetry through emotions. According to him THE FUNCTION OF POETRY is to interpret life for us, to console us, to sustain us. He says if SCIENCE IS APPEARANCE then the POETRY IS EXPRESSION and there is no appearance without expression.
Then Arnold talks about setting our standard for poetry high. We must accustom ourselves to HIGH STANDARD and STRICT JUDGEMENT and there is no place for CHARLATANISM in poetry. Charlatanism is for confusing the difference between excellent and inferior, sound and unsound or only half sound, true and untrue or only half true. Judging with little differences has paramount importance, so there is no place for charlatanism in poetry.
Roger White's Book: The Witness of PebblesRon Price
In 1981, two years after the publication of Roger White's first book of poetry, the second of what would eventually be three books of Roger White's poetry from the George Ronald publishers of Oxford was published. This second volume contained nearly three times as many poems as the first. Geoffrey Nash, who had finished his doctorate on Thomas Carlyle and had just completed writing his first book: Iran's Secret Pogrom, wrote the introduction.
The following year, in 1982, Nash was to go on and write the first significant essay on the work of Roger White: The Heroic Soul and the Ordinary Self. The publication of this volume of poetry was timely. Robert Hayden, a Baha'i, and an American poet laureate in the 1970s, had died the previous year. He had been a Baha'i and a poet for over forty years. In some important ways the Baha'i consciousness in world literature that this book is discussing found its first significant poetic expression in the poetry of Robert Hayden. John Hatcher points out that Hayden came of age as a poet in the early forties, during the first teaching Plan, 1937-1944. A Baha'i consciousness slowly grew in his poetic expression beginning in 1943 when he joined the Baha'i Faith, although it did not become obvious, did not express significant Baha'i themes, until at least 1962 in Hayden's collection A Ballad of Remembrance.

2. What Is Comparative Literature?
• Matthew Arnold used it for the first time in his letter to
his sister, May 1848.
• “How plain is now, though an attention to the
Comparative literatures for the last fifty year might have
instructed any one of it, that England is in a certain sense
far behind the continent.”
• Lane Cooper in 1920s: a ‘bogus term’, it makes ‘neither
sense or syntax’. ‘comparative potatoes’ or ‘comparative
husks’(Rene Wellek, Discriminations: Further Concepts
of Criticism, New Haven 1970, p. 1ff.) For Cooper
accurately it is, ‘The comparative study of literature’.
• French ‘litterature comparee.’
• The terms such as ‘World Literature’ and ‘Weltliteratur’
have been employed by Goethe. For ‘the best that has
been written in the world.’( cf. Fritz Strich, Goethe und
die Weltlitetratur, Berne 1946, pp. 13-27)
3. What Is Comparative Literature?
• Rene Wellek employs other terms such as ‘universal literature’ and
‘international literature’.
• “‘Comparative literature’ implies a study of literature which uses
comparison as its main instrument.” – S. S. Prawer. (S. S. Prawer,
Comparative Literary Studies: An Introduction, Duck Worth:London,
1973.p.2.
• Benedetto Croce, litteratura Comparata, Real appreciation of literature
is possible only when they are compared beyond the national
boundaries.
• ‘An examination of literary texts (including works of literary theory
and criticism) in more than one language, through an investigation of
contrast, analogy, provenance or influence; or a study of literary
relations and communications between two or more groups that speak
different languages.’ – S. S. Prawer. (S. S. Prawer, Comparative
Literary Studies: An Introduction, Duck Worth:London, 1973.p.2. p.8.
6. The Need of Comparative Lit. 1
• To appreciate Wordsworth one needs to compare his
work with that of Milton, Thomson, Keats and Shelley.
• To appreciate Samuel Beckett and Vladimir Nobokov ;
whose earlier work is in one language and later in
another needs a polyglot to appreciate their works of
art.
• Rene Etiemble’s( the teacher of Leopold Senghor) plea
in his stimulating Comparision n’est pas raison of 1963:
‘…we allowed ourselves to be charmed by the music of
words instead of clinging to their substance: their
meaning. That, of course, was decisive proof of our
lack of civilisation,’
7. The Need of Comparative Lit. 2.
• To substantiate the argument of his teacher Leopold Senghor
quotes Lord Macaulay’s famous blast against supporting the study
of Arabic and Indian literature and culture as,
• ‘…I have never found one among them who could deny that a
single self of a good European library was worth the whole native
literature of India and Arabia… the superiority of the European
becomes absolutely immeasurable…’
• ‘ We must at present do our best to form a class who may be
interpreters between us and millions whom we govern; a class of
persons, Indian in blood and colour, but English in taste, in opinions,
in morals, and in intellect.’(Minute addressed by Macaulay to Lord
Bentinck, Governor General of India, on 2nd February 1835, Leopold
Sedor Senghor, Ansprachen anlasslich der Verleihung des
Friedenspreises des deutchen Buchhandels, Frankfurt, 1968, pp. 44-
8.
• Without becoming a comparatist one cannot do the justice to the
Renaissance or Pre-Renaissance literature.
8. The Distinction between
‘Comparative’ and ‘General
Literature.’• R. A. Sayce :
• ‘General Literature’ he defines ‘The study of literature
without regard to linguistic frontiers.’
• ‘Comparative Literature’ as ‘the study of national literatures
in relation to each other’. ( Yearbook of Comparative and
General Literature XV (1966). P. 63.)
• When we compare a Shakesperean sonnet with a
Petrarchan one we are in the field of comparative
literature.
• Andre Gide’s vision for ‘Europeanization of the cultures.’
(Andre Gide, Journals1889-1949, translated, collected and
edited by Justin O’Brien, Harmondsworth 1967, pp. 257-8.)
9. The Role of Comp. Lit. in Constructing
the theory of literature.
• The works of August Wilhelm Schlegel illustrated it first than that of
Matthew Arnold, Friedrich Schlegel illustrate it.
• According to Harry Levin it is an object not a subject.
• To take first step towards recognising what is in each case good,
original, difficult, intended.(‘Comparative Literature’, Times Literary
Supplement, 25th July 1968.)
• ‘A more balanced view, a truer perspective than is possible from the
isolated analysis of a single national literature, however rich in
itself.’ (Romanticism in Perspective: A Comparative Study of Aspects
of the Romantic Movement in England, France and Germany,
London 1969, p. 277.
• For Arnold ‘… Everywhere there is connection, everywhere there is
illustration: no single event, no single literature, is adequately
comprehended except in relation to other events, to other
literatures’. (Matthew Arnold, On The Modern Element in
Literature. Inaugural Lecture delivered in the University of Oxford,
14 th Nov ., 1857.) Ex Mansfield park.
