This is a yearbook sponsored by the British Comparative Literature
Association in the belief that at the present time, when English
studies are being redefined, comparative literary studies represent
a major direction forwards. The Yearbook addresses itself to
questions of literary theory and criticism; to comparative studies
in terms of theme, genre, movement and influence; and to
interdisciplinary topics. It includes translations of literary,
scholarly and critical works; substantial reviews of major books
and tendencies in the field; and the first bibliographies of
comparative literature in Britain. Volume 2 is concerned with the
relationship between the text and its reader, a topic of particular
interest in current criticism. Some of the major theorists and
critics in the field are represented: Mikhail Bakhtin, the Russian
theorist obliged for much of his life to write under pseudonyms,
whose important work, already influential in France, has only begun
to be translated into English in recent years; and the contemporary
critics, Wolfgang Iser and John Preston, who have led the way in
the exploration of the 'aesthetics of reception' in the English
novel.
