As comparative literature reshapes itself in today's globalizing
age, it is essential for students and teachers to look deeply into
the discipline's history and its present possibilities. "The
Princeton Sourcebook in Comparative Literature" is a wide-ranging
anthology of classic essays and important recent statements on the
mission and methods of comparative literary studies. This
pioneering collection brings together thirty-two pieces, from
foundational statements by Herder, Madame de Stael, and Nietzsche
to work by a range of the most influential comparatists writing
today, including Lawrence Venuti, Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak, and
Franco Moretti. Gathered here are manifestos and counterarguments,
essays in definition, and debates on method by scholars and critics
from the United States, Europe, Asia, Africa, and Latin America,
giving a unique overview of comparative study in the words of some
of its most important practitioners. With selections extending from
the beginning of comparative study through the years of intensive
theoretical inquiry and on to contemporary discussions of the
world's literatures, "The Princeton Sourcebook in Comparative
Literature" helps readers navigate a rapidly evolving discipline in
a dramatically changing world."
