众所周知,“世界文学”这个概念对于比较文学界一般是可以通用的,其含义跟比较文学的概念彼此重叠,其实可以说世界文学是比较文学的前身,比较文学是世界文学发展的结果。比较文学主要是指跨越国界和语言界限的文学比较研究,即用比较的方法来研究民族与民族、国家与国家之间文学与文学,或者文学与其他的艺术形式、意识形态的关系的新型边缘学科。从世界文学的角度着眼,充分揭示各个国家、各个地区、各个民族文学所持有的发生、发展的过程,探索文学发展的内在规律乃至人类文化发展的基本规律是比较文学的任务。 As we all know, the concept of “world literature” is generally applicable to comparative literature. Its meaning overlaps with the concept of comparative literature. In fact, it can be said that world literature is the predecessor of comparative literature and comparative literature is the result of the development of world literature. Comparative literature mainly refers to the comparative study of literary across national boundaries and linguistic boundaries, that is to say, the comparative method is used to study the new edge of literature and literature between nations and nations, between countries and countries, or between literature and other forms of art and ideology Subject. From the perspective of world literature, it is the task of comparative literature to fully reveal the occurrence and development process held by various nationalities, regions and ethnic groups and explore the inherent laws of the development of literature and even the development of human culture.
