Comparative literature is the study of literary works in a
broader context than that afforded by the study of the
literature of a single national tradition. It includes
cross-cultural study of genre, period, and theme
relationships among literary works and among literature and
other historic and artistic disciplines and the
investigation of common sources and influences. There are
two tracks: ‘Literature and Culture’, and ‘Religion and
Culture’.
