The compared studies: a road for the teaching of the literary analysis (Original)

Abstract

This paper deals with a notable updated topic in the realm of literary studies. It focuses literary analysis from the perspective of comparative studies, by means of a proposal which makes it possible the identification of relations and contacts which are found within the text and in its relations with other literary texts. Its authors provide theoretical grounds on literary analysis to back up comparative studies, stemming from the directions for the analysis which guide the comparison taking into account literary genres and text characteristics; it also provides methodological instructions to develop comparisons in the context of literary analysis.
