English literature - The Romantic period
William Wordsworth takes a boat out on a lake one summer evening. As he rows across the water, enjoying the natural scenery, a large black peak suddenly emerges from the horizon. It towers over him and seems to pursue his boat, filling him with fear and trembling. He quickly returns to shore and leaves his boat, going home in a grave and serious mood. For many days after, his mind remains in a state of darkness and uncertainty as he ponders the experience and its implications about the mysterious nature of existence.

Comparative literature emerged as an academic field in the 19th century through the interactions between different literary traditions and influences. Early contributions came from France, where Abel Villemain's lectures at the Sorbonne in 1827 are considered some of the first systematic comparative studies. Comparative literature then developed different national schools, with France focusing on comparisons between European literatures, America blending it with broader humanities, Germany growing after WWII thanks to Peter Szondi, and England tracing origins back to comparing works like Shakespeare to other traditions. The field continues evolving to meet new academic standards while addressing its Western biases.

German literature
- 3. German literature •German literature embraced not only the literary works from Germany but also from Austria, and speaking parts of Switzerland. German literary writers tried to adopt foreign concepts such as France. That is why German literature (works written in German) emerged only before the 17th century.
- 4. Brief History of German Literature •Early and Medieval German Literature (800-1050) There was a conflict between the heroic tradition of the Germanic tribe (honor, bravery, nomadic, and fate) and Christianity (humility, reconciliation, and love) The conversion of the Germans to Christianity (largely accomplished by the end of the 5th century) thus presented a great challenge: that of reeducating an entire people and of adapting and translating the literature of Christianity into a language that had no written tradition.
- 5. Brief History of German Literature •Golden Age of German Literature (1050-1300) It is in this period that the German literary history recorded its peculiarity that the first abundant texts in the German language reflect not mainstream culture and its secular manifestations but the conservative religious reaction against it. One of the most remarkable epic was written during this period 1200–10, that takes the reader into a social and ethical world designed as the antithesis to that of the civilized, refined courtesy of the romance. The Nibelungenlied (“Song of the Nibelungs”) is a return to a more primitive, pre-courtly, Germanic heroic world.
- 6. Brief History of German Literature •Late Middle Ages (1300-1400) Knighthood declined that paved way to city burghers. Popular literature flourished. Simple romantic verses were widely-read, Martin Luther translated the Bible into German.
- 7. Brief History of German Literature •The 17th Century Literature was characterized by the German belief that their language was superior to the other languages. Academies were founded to improve their grammar. Dramas continued to be popular. Poetry also preferred the sonnet and the Alexandrian verses.
- 8. Brief History of German Literature •18th and the 19th Centuries There were two opposing movements that concerns poetic theory – the French classicist and the influences of religious epics. Poetry of strong emotions emerged and the romantic movement in Germany started.
- 9. Brief History of German Literature •20th Century Literature Writers introduced symbolism as a reaction to naturalism.
