A Hermeneutic Model for Comparative Literary History

Abstract

This essay aims to address the issues and problems, which correspond to the rewriting of literary history comparatively as social reality. The thesis proposed presents five parts: 1) an inquiry into the concept of historical context, 2) definition of terms for a comparative literary history, 3) methodological frameworks for comparative literary historiography, 4) putting theory into practice, and 5) inconclusive conclusions.
