Comparative Literature: A Critical Introduction

Abstract

Through an examination of a series of case studies and new theoretical developments, Bassnett reviews the current state of comparative literature world-wide in the 1990s. In the past twenty years a range of new developments in critical theory have changed patterns of reading and approaches to literature: gender based criticism, reception studies, the growth of translation studies, deconstruction and orientalism all have had a profound impact on work in comparative literature.
