It's typical for students to study a single language for literature. You may take classes in 'English literature' or in 'French.' We are used to seeing novels and films as part of an ongoing story consisting of a single language. Welcome to comparative literature - the approach which brings multiple languages together. Scholars who do this have contributed to our understanding of mythology, folklore, fairytales, magical realism, cyberpunk and heroic legends. In this video, I will give a brief overview to comparative literature and use well-known examples to explore this exciting method to studying literature.
Universities with Comparative Literature programs include King's College London, University College London, the University of Sydney, Harvard University, and Oxford, to name a few.

I have done MPhil in Comparative Literature, and for my coursework I had to read an essay by Steven Totosy de Zepetenek. The essay highlights the growing unpopularity and constantly diminishing interest of students and academia in the discipline which got me really worried. I really don't know if I should pursue my studies further in the discipline..can you please talk about its future scope a little bit?

Hi! Whilst I am yet to read that essay, I would say comparative literature, like all humanities fields, are in a dire state due to a very poor academic job market. Just remember your MPhil is a fantastic accomplishment on its own and you've already proven you are well versed in comparative literature. A PhD is really, training for the academic job market. It is not necessary for most corporate jobs. Best of luck.
