Comparative literature is an ideal major for students with a background in at least one foreign language who are interested in the study of literature, but do not wish to be constrained by the limits of a single national or linguistic tradition. Comparatists believe that we arrive at a deeper understanding of literary forms, genres, and movements by situating them in international contexts and by examining the ways in which works allude to and connect with each other across national boundaries. Comparative literature also encourages students to become familiar with theories of literature and literary meaning and to explore the relations between literature and philosophy, as well as literature and the other arts. It offers a flexible program of study that leaves students considerable freedom to pursue their own interests while also promoting a broad-based, international, and interdisciplinary approach to the study of literature and culture.
