Университетский курс истории литературы и современность: к проблеме взаимосвязи общей и сравнительной истории литератур

Abstract

The article concerns the modern concepts of general and comparative history of literature, the common points in these disciplines are revealed. It deals with the top methods of literary science as well as their application in courses on the history of literature. The question about the problems of teaching the history of literature, in particular, foreign literature is relevant not only in the light of the modern educational reforms in Russia, but also in terms of the overall crisis of the humanities which is discussed in different countries. Today the problem is not the quality of a literary product or its study, but whether literature exists and whether there is interest in its study. Here even titles of books and articles are speaking: “Farewell, literature”, “What else does philology serve?”, “Why and how to study literature?”, “Why do we need literature at universities?” etc. Nowadays the literary critics redefine the concept of literature, the principles of classifying into the historical-literary periods, the concept of “world literature”, which is the material of common literary history and, finally, the inner structure that can be built as the history of styles and schools, as the history of genres, as the history of masterpieces as well as the history of the mass literature development and so on. But in all its variants it tends to integrate the historical and aesthetic dimensions, identify the common elements in the development of national literatures.
