Comparative Literature Studies brings you the work of eminent critics, scholars, theorists, and literary historians. Their essays range across the rich traditions of Africa, Europe and the Americas, and examine the literary relations between East Asia and the West. They also explore movements, themes, forms, the history of ideas, relations between authors, and the foundations of criticism and theory. Each issue includes reviews of significant books by prominent scholars. Published by the Penn State University Press and distributed by the Johns Hopkins University Press.
