The cliginal-

hienof ths Teeher's Guide to WorldLiterature was under-. taken as a- monumental' task.bY Rotert O'Neal aid

published by the National.Council of Teachers of En-glish in 1166. Itwas intended to encourage reading.beyond the traditional English and;Americantexts by making available auseful resource hi anArea in which .few teachers hat adequate preparatinw:The -purpose of extending studentreading, beyoncrworks.written in Englishwas okvions: to make students aware of other cultures aridat the same time,to bring them to understand the universality ofthe human character andVcindition. The Guilde clidnot provideinstant expertise. It did, however,.offer, as the title suggests, guidancein what was then a largely unknownfield for many.

7.

Today, More than a decade lates, worldliterature in translationis anaccepted field of .study from high school throughcollege. There can be littledotibt thin the Guide has furnishedsome impetus in that development.

It became increasingly clear to the Committee.onFomparative and Worldliterature, as it followed the growth ofinterest in thi fibld, that perspectives

,on world literature ch.ange and that new works appear:clamgringfor atten-.tior?! a revision of theGuide would be required. Severalyears ago, therefore,the Committee requested and receivedpermission frOni the Council to,undertake this task.

The new Guide to _World Literature relies heavilyon the pioneer work ofRobert O'Neal, °retaining, in fact,a substantial 'num _r of entries more or less

as he wrote'them. Some entrieshave been dropped bcause the importance ofcertain writers has diminishedor because the wors of othef writers nowappear to have greater salience. The limited sectionon English and Americanwrifers has been eliminated altogether,Once. these authors are generallyrtaught in British or' American literaturecourses. A subitantial number otAfrican and Asian writess have been addedbecause interest ip these literatutieShas growh over the past tenyears and because translations have become moreavailable. Finally, the. target audience forthe Guide has bee'n expande; toInclude collegetudents, especially those in the firsttwo years and those inthe communityllegeswhich also developed substantiallyduring the pastdecade. Even thisesion, however, cannot alter the fact that thePude

I1

Preface

is not all-inclusiVe; certaiii of the most widely known works have been omit- ted in'favor of lesser k'nown titles. A significant feature of tiro original editiOnt which was retained and in "some casei eXpanded is the "comparative comment." The critical sOnce is similar, with thematic and-ger:ode coments as well as historical obseriations.

A bibliography is provided.i

A Inalior d4fference beti.iy_gen-ihe first and the revised editions is that the latter was don trx..comMittee. It has taken an entire committee to'update what Robert V eal-originally and singlehandedly wrought. 1.1 4a -1 1 0 aSt 4.

Introduction,

al%t

The Guide to World iterature provides

a unique xesource for creating a

coure of literature, suggesting as it does individual works thatrrlay be used tond thp limits of .textbobk anthologies. Itsarrangement is alphabetical

or, avoiding national historical progressions and elassification bygenre,although a separate index by title is provided. TheGuide suggests a view ofliterature.which looks to the universal experiencesreflected in literature. Aswe move into multi-national e anomie, ecological, and culturalenterprisesand inter-dependenaes,-it becoes increasingly important for students to

recognize national.similarities an4 differences, butabove .all to recognize our.:common bond, our common loA stuuy of world literature contributesmuch to an appreciation and undthtandingof the heritage we share."Give me something contemporary, somethingrelevant to my lifer isoften the cry of students, Yet, Murasaki,the eleventh. century Japanesenovelist, is applauded in, critical circles for his "inodeinity."Writers of thepast can be our contemporfor in literature the past is always in thepresent as well as a partsof.hi

.focl,Murasaki's Shining Princecan be ourcompanioh in the twentieth,Ceas he was to the Japanese in the elev'enthsentuly: Literature, in brief,, freesus from a linear view of time, suggestingas'it does other concepts of timethaktall eiists simultaneously or that timeis cyclical.V

The Thematic Approach

e The thematic approaeb.provides the best opportunity

to foster an interes4 inliterature and.literaryfiles anda concert for enduring and chasging humanvalues. At the same tinie, the teacher has theopportunity wIth each newwork to raise the student's cultural and historicalawareness. The number ofthemes is endless, of course: love, injustice,oppression, grief, conflict, tran-sience, separation, war. Consider, for etample, thetheme of oppression. Itmay be personal oppression, the Korean mother-in-law'streatment of herdaughter-in-law, or group oppreslion, the exploitationof one nation byanother, or an interweaving of thetwo. Such a therni-may be. explored byaul% for example, Anne Frank'sThe Diary of a Young-Girl (the Nazi
