	Comparative Literature Program
		Comparative Literature entails not only the study of various literatures in a variety of languages, but also the study of the connections (and differences) between different modes of thinking and of representing the world.
		Comparative Literature is an entryway to World Literature, a means of exploring what various peoples and individuals have thought about being in the world.
		The study of Comparative Literature offers a model for ways in which studies in the future will be conducted without considering national frontiers as permanent and impermeable boundaries, nor imagining that disciplines of the mind (such as philosophy or psychology or literary study) have nothing to say to each other.

	Department of Comparative Literature
		The discipline of Comparative Literature is based on the assumption that the study of single texts and cultures is enriched by a knowledge of the other texts and cultures surrounding them.
		Comparative Literature views literature from a broad and inclusive perspective where philosophy, anthropology, history, and literary theory come together, and where drama, the visual arts, and modern media suggest crucial comparisons.
		What also makes this study of literature comparative is that it examines texts not ordinarily seen as literary for their uses of language and traces the effects of such literature on cultural representations of gender, race, and class.

	Comparative literature - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		This eclecticism has led critics (from within and without) to charge that Comparative Literature is insufficiently well-defined, or that comparativists too easily fall into dilletantism, because the scope of their work is, of necessity, broad.
		Although many comparative works from this period would be judged chauvinistic, Eurocentric or even racist by contemporary standards, the intention of most scholars during this period was to increase the understanding of other cultures, not to assert superiority over them (although politicians and others from outside the field used their works for this purpose).
		Prior to the advent of the American School, the scope of comparative literature in the West was typically limited to the literature of Western Europe and North America, predominantly literature in English, German and French literature, with occasional forays into Italian literature (primarily for Dante) and Spanish literature (primarily for Cervantes).
