The role of comparative literature

Comparative literature explains the areas of historical convergence between literatures, the nature of this convergence, and explains the results it produces in directing literary and intellectual renewal movements, while revealing the aspects of originality in this renewal. This is followed by the necessity of the emergence of the movement of national literature when it seeks to benefit from other literatures in order to carry out its rightful message in directing national consciousness in a rational direction, and also when it in turn feeds the need of other literatures, influencing them, and cooperating with them in carrying out its human literary message... and that continuous, double movement. The character of every emerging national literature, and it is the focus of every renewal that has been allowed to take place in all literatures.One of the accepted data, on which modern comparative studies are based, is that influence by books and literature does not erase originality, and every literature has its own eras of renaissance in which it contributed to the progress of world literature, and found its way to types of influence in which the genius of its people and their intellectual leadership is evident, and its manifestation is evident in comparative studies. The best way to feed nationalist feelings.
